I was there at Tex Logan's house when Pete and Mr. Monroe apparently had yet to teach this song to the rest of The Bluegrass Boys -- Richard Greene, Lamar (dad of David) Greer, and James Monroe IIRC. They performed it as a pure duet a la The Monroe Brothers, which was spine-tingling -- then Mr. Monroe literally shopped the song around to the (many!) great musicians in attendance, singling out Mike Seeger as the most appropriate cover artist. A wonderful time was had by all in glorious Madison, New Jersey!
Some of the best shows I've ever seen at the Station Inn were headlined by Peter Rowan..you never knew what group of great players were going to show up to support him. The extended part of the story includes how Bill told Pete, "That's no part of NOTHIN'"...a phrase that has become a staple of describing almost anything a bluegrass picker doesn't like..
What an honor it is for these young musicians to share the stage with a Bluegrass Legend like Pete Rowan. What class thank you Pete Rowan, and thank you for the many years of great bluegrass.

Good to see thr old veterans of blue and new grass mentoring these talented youg people. Molly has emotionaly stolen my heart with her singing and playing. The good lord above has truly smiled on her.
speak for yourself, bluegrass descends from the old time mountain music which descends from the Scottish and Irish fiddle tunes that were taken over with the first settlers, people even play some old Scottish and Irish tunes as "bluegrass" tunes, there's a fairly decent bluegrass scene in the UK.
As pointed out in Moffat's post, the British bluegrass scene is well established in the UK, and has been for many years. The Orange Blossom Sound were one of the top bands in the 1960s - here they are: th-cam.com/video/Wssizt3oDg8/w-d-xo.html Here are the Echo Mountain Band on a1970s recording, with a song they wrote themselves: th-cam.com/video/boKAEj9HrLE/w-d-xo.html I recall reading about a German group in the American 'Bluegrass Unlimited' magazine in I think the late 1960s, and I believe there are some excellent French musicians as well. I'm English, and fell in love with bluegrass music in my teenage years. However, I think you're probably right. I would imagine most European people only have a superficial acquaintance with bluegrass at best.
Back in the late 1960s and into the 70s American TV audiences were particluarily vulnerable to influsnce of all types. Enter Buck Owens and Porter Wagoner ans several others who ALL sported abundantly bejeweled suits and such in order to capture the camera 's eye with all that glitter. It worked and it stuck.
@@keithshaw6725: I’ll be honest, I’m not a staunch bluegrass fan and had never previously heard of Peter Rowan. But as a lifelong musician, writer and recording artist I do know that Molly Tuttle is probably the best flat picker I’ve ever seen and has skills well beyond basic 3-chord country tunes and simple 2-part harmonies. This particular song was a combination of both and offered no opportunity for anyone on stage to show anything beyond basic music skills…and yes, I know, to appeal to a general audience you have to keep it pretty simple and I’m 100% ok with that. But to suggest this performance would have been better without Molly, I suggest it would have been nothing without her.
@@rayray8687 She & Billy Strings... doing The Grateful Dead. Who woulda ever guessed? Gillian & David. Alison Krause. Bela, TONY Rice, Sam Bush (RIP) Bluegrass is so "hot" now.
@@keithshaw6725: Yes, I would put Molly first and Billy Strings a very close second as flat pickers but place Molly way out in front for versatility. As for Sam Bush I feel his best known student, Sierra Hull, is a far better musician, but then that’s what teaching is all about, creating a new and better generation of musicians. Anyway I believe the current genre is called ’newgrass’, and about time. We can only spend so much of our lives living in the past which is why after a lifetime in music I love seeing the younger people perform. Thanks for the convo!
Ms. Tuttle's outfit is certainly sparkly, although I think it's quite stylish. Everyone else is wearing a suit, which as a European I would call business-like, rather than garish.
There is a tradition of wearing flashy formal wear in the Country Music World, and bluegrass has a tendency to be country music's cooler and more down to earth cousin.

I’ve heard the first bar and already I’m pleased. This music will never die.
You share a famous name in bluegrass.

It was an honor for sure!
Wow! Goosebumps. Such a moment in history. It’s an amazing time to be alive.
That is some great harmony between Peter Rowan and Molly Tuttle.

Wow! Molly Tuttle and Wyatt Ellis!!! Great!!!
🤠
Haunting...
Wonderful. I (as we all europeans) know very little of bluegrass -- but this plays some very deep bells.

Wyatt Ellis. Bravo. Mighty fine.
always great
WOW
Who is the young mando player?
DK, but I like his playin'.
Only saw Peter Rowan once, fronting a band called "SeaTrain" in the early '70's. Richard Greene on fiddle.
Superb.
that’s me!
🤠
@@WyattEllis Nice job Wyatt!
That will be Wyatt. Good job young man!
To bad they didn’t tune Peter’s guitar prior.
Who is they I'm sure peter knows how to tune his own guitar.
Would have been better without Molly...
My personal opinion - would have been better without the rest of them.
@@rayray8687 Last year I saw Peter Alone. He doesn't need any help. Truly mesmerizing

So, for me being an ignorant European - please explain to me the garish suits and dresses - for me, it looks completely out of line...
So, get some help.
Listen to the music, ignore the wrapping paper

They are wearing their Sunday best and looking fancy for company.
