Fine job -- surely one of my favorite Monroe tunes -- this is an inspiring version --- I've never sat down and really worked the tune out properly. But I will now!!!
You are very blessed to come from such a wealth of musical skill. Than you for posting this; your grandfather's tunes have inspired me to get off my butt and practice!
I've ordered a Big Muddy M11 but having knocked a tune out of a Guitar, Irish Bouzouki and an Octave Mandola I find tht my fingers assult each other on the Mandolin because of the closness of the frets.
@Reggae1942 I always wondered myself how my Grandpa and Uncle could play soooo well with those big man hands on that tiny Mandolin, but it can be done! Good Luck to you:)
@ngzcaz My Papa was a Huge Bill Monroe Fan:) I couldn't agree with you more about all the Unknown Talents out there playing on someone's porch. I just consider myself Lucky enough to have had a front fow seat my whole life:)
AMAZING. Very very talented. People like this, videos like this make me so happy. Nothing like the sweet sound of the mandolin in capable hands.

A most enjoyable mandolin style, somewhat in between Monroe's bluegrass and old-timey to my ears. You were blessed with that man. R.I.P.

@alzhammer1 For me and my Family he was the best ;) Yes, thank you for understanding that.
I wish I had a better way to load the music onto here, because the quality isn't the best. The original stuff sounds amazing.

Close your ears to those insensative pseudo experts. You regard your grandpa as the best player in the world thats all that matters.
The Best Mandolin Player ever! three cheers!!!

Some people are insensitive to the point of being just plain stupid.
