Bill Monroe - Name Written There (1950s)

[warehambr]

I consider it one of the great fortunes of my life to have seen Bill probably 20 or more times in concert. He would always take my requests. I loved watching and hearing him play his mandolin, nobody else comes close, nobody! And his high clear tenor, what a combination.

Bill was the Father of Bluegrass, a music he was the Master of. He stayed TRUE to it,never changing, proving he was the Father. I once seen Bill Monroe, a few years before he died, met him,shook his hand, talked to him , sat next to him in a chair,so humble. The same year/ & month seen the Rolling Stones. Bill's show blew the Stones away, in my book,by many reasons.

This is so good we should not be allowed to watch it. Can you imagine how amazing this music was in the 1950's? Wow.
