Bill Monroe is at the top of the heap when it comes to bluegrass .Reno & Smiley stand next to Bill. This is just my opinion and I listen to my likings. I have boxed sets of Flatt&Scruggs Stanleys Martin and they seem to stay in their boxes. I always have a Monroe or Reno&Smiley ready to pop into the cd player

@mike54101527 Yes, he was! "Uncle Pen" was one of Bill Monroe's first hits, written in honor of his mother's brother, "Uncle" Pendleton ("Pen") Vandiver, who raised Bill when both his parents died. Pen was a fiddle player who took young Bill to many of his gigs. Bill, who had been raised playing mandolin with his brothers while young, learned to accompany his Uncle Pen. When Pen died, Bill wrote this hit about him.

If you listen closely to Monroe's mandolin playing he's adding some insane rhythm figures, like the B section of the intro or right before the vocal break in the first chorus.
I heard a story that he played at the Opry early on and the rhythm section was coming in so hot they told him to tone it down because the crowd was getting to rowdy lol.

it seems that as society,politics,entertainment all have degraded into a rotten cortpse,as has music...the originators of the past whether it be uncle dave macon,buddy rich,robert johnson ect all the way thru the 70s THESE ARTISTS SHINE SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE ABSOLUTE WASTE SPEWING FORTH FROM CORPORATE OUTLETS NATION WIDE...so when all else spirals into a whirlwind of chaos turn on a device of your choice and crank the real artists who made the music and never sold coke products to do so.
