The late, great Master of Bluegrass. God rest his soul. Bill was such an amazing man. It's also nice to see Kenny Baker playing fiddle on here as well.
for some reason i had a hankerin' to hear this song today, it had been playing in my head for a couple of hours before i looked for it. thank you for uploading it :)
The combination of Monroe and Baker was always musical perfection...this great video is no exception. The smooth, long bow style of Baker blended perfectly with Monroe's mandolin and made each performance a thrill! Thanks for posting this video for all to enjoy...
I can understand why you think that. He talks in the song of meeting his wife, the now she's up in heaven and with the Angel band is present tense, they are old and he waits to join her again.
I love this song, but I never understood it.... Does anybody have an interpretation of the lyrics, it seems like a person died, but then he talks about it like he's happy.....
Damn does this bring back memories!!! this was one of my favorites of his back in the early 60's and truthfully I don't think I've heard it more than once or twice sine then. Thank you so much.
Oh yes, there is no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm told by a bluegrass musician that the moon is the carving in an outhouse door.
Take it from there.
