Bill Monroe was NOT an old coot . He was the most respected man in the world when the subject " bluegrass music" was brought up. I had the HONOR to shake his hand at Bean blossom in 1971 when I came back from Vietnam. He belongs on Mount Rushmore? R. I.P. Mister Monroe - What a man? They don't make men like him anymore . Nuff said 🙏🇺🇲
how else are you going to have every bluegrass musician in the world go through the band so they can learn it, if he doesn't give them a reason to leave? I'm sure it wasn't Bill's intention he was just a hard man to work for but the fact that people kept leaving is why bluegrass became a genre instead of just one band.
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
Bill Monroe is the very best singer ❤
