por favor alguien podria traducirme al castellano todo lo qe dice?? necesito saber qe dice...( please.. can somebody translate to spanish every word that he says? i need know all he say, please, my english is very bad, , thanks, i apreciate this :)
I lost my dad about a month ago and this was the last song played at his funeral. I know he would have liked that. He was a big fan of Bill Monroe. May the light of the Lord shine upon both of them and I sincerely hope they've had at least one good jam session together... I love you, Daddy and I miss you terribly..........Thanks, MandoMohan, for posting this...
This is so pure compared to the version on many compilations. Mr. Bill moving that Loar around so the last note rolls around the inside puts a smile on my face as my eyes are filled with tears.
@MandoMohan That's right. I hope a lot of people will get turned on to Bill's music. This tune, I always love listening to this on my copy of "Master of Bluegrass". This piece has a mysterious way of being both haunting and beautiful at the same time.
@zclan51 Well, thankyou, you're most welcome. If you came across Monroe's first release of this instrumental in the 80's you might not have liked it quite as much. It has added electronic sound effects. I think it might have even been a bit cheesy for Bill, too.
How beautiful. What talented men they were. So glad to find this on your site Man. My brother gave me our father's mandolin and I want to learn to play. Any suggestions? Thanks.
@Songsmirth You can't go wrong starting with American fiddle tunes like, Salt Creek, Sailors Joy or even better, some of Bill Monroe's own tunes like, Chippiwa, Kentucky Mandolin or Bluegrass Stomp (This one's nice and rocky).
You'll find them all here. Download the TEFView file viewer, and you're away.
Fourteen years ago today, 9/9/96, we lost a national treasure when my friend and mentor, William Smith Monroe, died. His mandolin is silent now...but his musical genius, his contributions to our world, and the musical genre he created known as BLUEGRASS will live on...Thank you sharing this wonderful video. Peace.
The All-time Master,Father of Bluegrass,American Music Pioneer,Songwriter, GOD's Music Messenger. What more can you say, we're Blessed, we(America) had him, long as we did.
@1thequeenisdead1 You're either a Queer, or a Dumb Ass, or maybe both. And what continent your ass sits on,doesn't have anything to do with. I knew Bill, did you ? His music, originated in America,where he was born,(kentucky)where it evolved. The influence of it came from Scottland,Ireland. I never bashed any other Country. And whether you like it or not,Bill Monroe,was a Christian.
Your anger is hardly justified. No matter how you feel about it, how well you knew him, what religion he belonged or what borders he was born inside his music doesn't belong exclusively to a American-Christian audience. It belongs to me aswell. If you believe he was God's messenger that's up to you, I personally don't but that has nothing to do with this either.
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I lived in W Va and I am not trying to bad-mouth the culture you folks have there.
You may have difficulty trying to tune it to Dm without breaking a string. (That low A string is difficult to bring up to a C). I usually tune mine to C#m so I don't run as much risk of breaking it.
April the 12th 2004 was Dad's last full day on earth. It was a monday rainy and cold best I can recollect. His race was almost run, and his suffering was soon to be over.
This video is proof that instruments can speak...

We were all blessed for having him (entire world), religion aside. I very much doubt Bill would have appreciated your display of xenophobia.
Beautiful song and greetings from United Kingdom :)

stellingbanjos 2 years ago
I think it's the monroe open 'd' isn't it?
Tune one of your 'G' strings down to 'F#' and the other up to 'A'. Leave the 'D' & 'A' alone and tune one 'E' string up to 'F#'.
I apologise if this isn' what your looking for.

@AEngleSaex
Not F# as it's in Dminor so the F is natuaral
Tuning is AA DD AC DF
