Sometimes i get the feeling i'll be watching and learning from this clip forever. Maybe it's the notes he leaves out that make this quick tempo feel like a loping trot.
Too many people think that Bill's extra beat on the first run through the third part of the tune is a mistake. Either that, or they just don't realize that it happens.
@TheShufflemeister Does he always play it this way? Why only on the first run through? Maybe it's a mistake the second time. Just wondering. I love this tune and performance. It was my cousin and mines' favorite before my cousin passed.
I love this video !!! for some more good ol' country music please go on myspace and google Ray Riddle. This guy just released a new album and I just got my copy in the mail and it ROCKS !!!!
Yes, it is indeed the Sparta Flash on the banjo!

Bill Monroe - America's greatest musician. Great singer, composer, picker, songwriter, band leader, and innovator.

bravissimo, what Monroe does cannot be imitated by even the most talented jam bands of this day. His hands are surgical.
