The fiddle player, Kenny Baker, was the longest tenured Bluegrass Boy. He was a force with which to be reckoned and is the gold standard for Bluegrass fiddling.
Kenny’s style was somewhat different that some of the other blue grass fiddlers because of his early Western swing influence. I rate Kenny and Vassar Clements as the greatest in Bill’s band.
This is so awesome on so many levels. Billy Strings introduced me to Doc Watson and Robert Earle Keen to Bill Monroe. This is a priceless treasure. Thanks for posting.
I've loved bluegrass all my life and I'm glad that Billy Strings is inspiring a whole new generation of pickers and listeners and introducing people to the greats like Doc and Bill. People who dunk on Billy Strings for not being trad bluegrass are ridiculous.
I enjoyed seeing president Carter introduce these great American musicians to the Whitehouse. He was the last truly decent man to hold that high office.
@jeremybubalough82,Ur CRAZY REAGAN was THE LAST TRUE AND REAL PRESIDENT.Carter was an idiot and still is,He doesn't and didn't support Israel ,when he left office we couldn't buy a home cause interest rates were so high,and he was what got us humiliated in Iran,with our helicopters crashing in the desert.No sir he was and still would be an idiot,he would support Biden another idiot .Long live Reagan and now TRUMP.
I like Bill Monroe,however our country needs a PRESIDENT WITH BACKBONE,carter,clinton,obama and now bidet sure had and have no Backbone. GICE US TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!.
The fiddle player is phenomenal.

@@nc4tnI'm right there with ya on that. I love Kenny and Vassar. Vassar could really put the blues into his playing.
So is the banjo...
I forgot about this one. This is a really good memory of the United States of America to me.
I'm Jimmy Carter and I approve of this message
Bluegrass is Where its AT!!
Musical geniuses at work. We will never see their like again.

@@nikpellinen2010 Agreed, a rising tide lifts all boats. Billy's the biggest thing to happen to bluegrass since Oh Brother Where Art Thou
@@sallyemma9669 Newgrass Revival was the biggest thing to happen to bluegrass since Bill Monroe. Much to Monroes chagrin. :-)
@@dishusse Old and In The Way???
@mikebastiatAlways a jaded hater in the bunch.
Every flat picker goes back to doc
@dozensides I realize its been 2yrs ago and you will probably not see this,but your comment was well said,it really is a good memmory of Our USA.
I love how 'The Suit' decides the bass player, Mark Hembree, needs a little more microphone. The President loves him some bass.
Taking your life in your hands messing with Bill’s stage set-up.
My Dad loved listening to them. And only listened Bluegrass and Country and Western.
Them boys sure can pick
TENNESSEE STUD, BEST SONG EVER
Wow, truly amazing! Thank you sharing this fantastic performance.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. Amazing quality
That high lonesome voice ...
The imstrumental at the end is "Watson Blues"
Outstanding!!!!
Wildman Bill Monroe

Carter was NOT the last decent man to sit in the white house..... Ronald Reagan was.
@@MrZiggy-pm9rzReagan was horrible!
Hahahahaha. Who played banjo for Obama's campaign? What Democrat was a Klansman?
Give your head a shake.

I’d only heard this prior .. what a treat .
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Doc 💙
Kenny Baker
He started off "Unkle Pen" a little fast ... but Bill and the band just rolled with it and it was great.
His fiddle sounds so good under the mike!
It's "Paddy" on the Turnpike...Like an Irishman.
But Patty would be fun 😂
❤
This band is pretty tight. :)
Its called "Paddy on the Turnpike"
Monroe playing with a finger rest. Not sure I've ever seen that before.
His f5 that he normally played was having work done to it at this time. It was only temporary haha
Stupid monetized ads right in the middle of the songs, grrr!
Sadly, the bots do that on their own!
Basket word bioudblueglass 😊
The harmonizing guitarist sounds like a younger Dell Mccoury does anyone know if that's him?
credits at end say guitar is Wayne Lewis
@@larrywillard844 Thanks very much, and have a great weekend!
James Earl Carter was the real deal
What was the Mandolin song after the show ended?
I believe it was "My Last Days on Earth."
Plays better than 99% of all guitarists that have ever walked the earth, all without using one of the biggest things we all take for granted
Wayne Lewis is one of the most underrated of all Blue Grass Boy guitarists.
Calm down fanboy
Kenny baker
May God Bless President Carter and Roslyn. Can any of you see Trump giving accolades to Bill Monroe? Just think about it.
"The greatest guitar player in the United States" largely relegated to playing back-up for Bill Monroe ... smh
I like Bill Monroe,however our country needs a PRESIDENT WITH BACKBONE,carter,clinton,obama and now bidet sure had and have no Backbone. GICE US TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!.
Can anybody see a Trump at a Bill Monroe concert? I don’t think so. ‘Nuff said.
Bless your heart. TDS is awful, isn't it?
@nc4m Carter may have liked great music,but as aPresident only one worse than Biden.
