Bill Monroe - Uncle Pen

this is about bill monroe's uncle penn

Check the Bill Monroe Blue Grass Boys, it cross references his players by date, name and instruments. By that account everyone is wrong.

aw man i luv this

pretty sure that is a young Del McCoury on guitar

The guitar player is Joe Stuart. Joe played for Bill off and on for several years and played other instruments in the band as well.

I would like for anyone that would like to share insights on a question I have about Mr. Monroe.

I recall him saying on several occasions that he never drank, as it also states in his biography. Yet, I have talked with a couple of people who saw him in person years back, who swore that he was drunk on stage. Any comments?

Oh man, what a question! Bill Monroe was 'drunk' on stage from playing the best bluegrass music he and his band could deliver. He was 'high' on his fans and his music. And the man was a gifted genius and gentleman to all. Read Tom Ewing's "The Bill Monroe Reader" and Bob Black's "Come Hither to Go Yonder". Bill did share a glass of wine with me once after a show in Portland, OR, back in the 80s. He even picked up the tab. Bill did not want his boys to drink beer, but whiskey..........

Im glad i am not the only person on the planet who will know that quality over quanity in music

That doesn't really make sense.

wat exactly does that mean?
