Hey wingnut1000, if you don't mind saying, where is this version of Jerusalem Ridge from? I have a studio recording of it from 1975, and it's different from this one.

Hi ressalg, the audio is from the Kenny Baker album "Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe" it is track 4. I Kinda did a bit of a chop and change though, for instance taking out the first part with Kenny on the fiddle, and tucked it in a little in the end.

I was wondering if Bill plays the whole tune through or did you edit it out for time? I've ordered this cd online and am hoping to learn the tune more like Bill played it than some of the other versions I've heard.

Too bad we couldn't have him forever. He helped define the music of a generation. Thanks for a great video.
