My uncle, Bill Box is playing guitar in this video. Very good song and some great fiddling!!
Looks like he's playing a D-18.He had a great band called the Dixie Drifters.
Ol Kenny sure could play and your uncle too!
Bill box used to come down to Ava Missouri where a mutual friend of ours lived named Benny pool. Had many jam sessions with him when he would come down for a week or 2 at a time. I actually got to talk with him on the phone a couple months ago. Bill is a very good fella in my opinion
How cool !
@@tippimail1 that's cool. My daddy's name was dixie !
Inspires you to work to work on the building. Amen!
Hallelujah!
Love this music, love from Scotland ,from Stuart Monroe, Hahaha, the land might change, the blood never doe's
Nothing can beat that High Lonesome sound. Bill Monroe's voice was superb, no one can recreate that voice.
My favorite Bill Monroe moment happened on the night Reba McIntire came to the Opry for the first time (as a major label recording artist) in the mid 80's. Everyone was watching Reba on stage and Bill was inside the rail fence waiting to go on playing his mandolin. He looked over and noticed me standing there listening to him so he walked over and played for an audience of one; me. We chated while Reba and the act that followed her finished. Bill went on stage and did his number. Great moment.
This is seriously the best I've heard. They could take down any contemporary Country artist of today, no problem.
The fiddle of Kenny Baker, paired with Monroe's mandolin, was sheer perfection to those of us fortunate enough to have seen these legends perform. Thanks for posting this terrific video!
Nothing against a good fiddle chop, but here Kenny Baker shows how a gifted and tasteful fiddler can add a lot to the whole tune with elegant harmonies and licks. Thanks for sharing.
I had to play it again just to hear that fiddle again. I don't have the words to do it justice!
The finest fiddler that ever pulled a bow.
Smooth and powerful.
Travis
indeed, ive replayed that solo over and over, that lick he plays at the end of the solo, wooowiie thats some hot stuff
I love his falsetto!!!
And Kenny Baker was the best bluegrass violinist of all time, His tone is unbelievable...!!!
That's fiddler, not violinist! lol
Reinforced falsetto if we're getting technical with it. That's why he has a lot of power, still uses some diaphragm. Really hard to do that high but I think he was probably a Tenor.
Man there is nothing better than Kennys fiddle break on this... there is no doubt that he is the best fiddler ever!!
One of my favourite musical performances of all time. Gets your blood pumping!
i love hearing that old guy hold that starting note!!! avwersome.
Kenny Baker has perfect intonation on that fiddle.
This stuff has real Soul - the very medicine for when you are feeling low. Many thanks to Bill for bringing us this great genre in music.
Is it just my imagination, or is that good old 4 part harmony a thing of the past in modern bluegrass?
At the end...incredible. Goose bumps.
Listen to Blueridge.
Lots of rich kids today in the spotlight.
this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.
What beautifuly uniquely spiritual music!! Thank you Bill and all of your musicians!!
Good job 🇳🇬 Nigeria
I.m thinkin'.."these cats can PLAY!"
“Ain’t never worked a lick but he shore can play.” Didn’t they introduce him that way at the Ryman Auditorium? Didn’t everyone have a flask in their back pocket? The floor was covered with used motor oil?
These cats are fast as lightning 🌩 😊
WOW!! What a talented group, could listen to them all day, thanks for upload.
Jim Moratto - banjo, Bill Box - guitar, Kenny Baker - fiddle, Greg Kennedy - bass, Bill Monroe - mandolin
I LIKE BLUEGRASS MUSIC
These guys had God around them when they played this.
My GOSH, that singing!!!! Wow! :D
The best version I ever heard!!
O Lord Jesus, work on my building as I wait to go up to heaven to get my reward.
Awesome.
Workin' on it! 🤠
Kenny Baker and Bobby Hicks fit Bill Monroe's style better than any others.
Although, Jimmy Campbell played as close to Kenny Baker as you could get.
Dana Cupp, Jimmy Campbell and I performed together in the late 70's and 80's in Michigan. If you closed your eyes and listened, you couldn't tell that Jimmy wasn't Kenny and Dana wasn't Sonny Osborn.
If you listen to the stuff Bobby Hicks played in the 50's with Bill It was Incredible.
Bobby's banjo picking was great also.
Butch Mason.
AMAZING.. Tears drops.....
Nice video, good to see Bill Box and Jim Moratto along with the Bluegrass Boys, I was wandering if such clips existed.
Awesome song. Awesome musicians.
I cant count how many times I’ve heard this played both in and out of church
I wish my church did BG
Love this song! 💜💜 All their songs remind me of Granny❤️
Bill is awsome.
Kenny Baker on Fiddle... awesome 2:09
I agree he tears it up on mule skinner blues too
Awesome!
I love his fiddling on The Old Crossroad on the Austin City Limits show.
I have always wondered if he was related to my Uncle Paul Baker. I swear he could be his twin. My Uncle Paul was from Hazard Kentucky. Anyone know anything about the Baker family.?
@@douglasgay4497...
legendary
Such a great song.
"that is a good one...", instant musical change... Awesome.
Every one of them were fabulous musicians, but Bill on that old Lloyd Loar mandolin and Kenny B on fiddle… as good as it ever gets.
Love this song
As stated earlier in another comment, Bill Box playing guitar and Jim Moratto on banjo.
Kenny is tearing that fiddle up!!!-David.
Thanks Tony
Absolutely fantastic,
@banjobluegrass Yes, Bill Box is my uncle, I'm glad that there is some footage of him playing with Monroe :)
Bill Box is a great guitar man and lead singer!
@@dankemble2718 Bill Box and the Dixie Drifters-saw them in around 1970 in Southern Mo.
Heard a tribute to Bill Monroe as I drove toward Columbus, OH today to a family celebration -- it would have been his 100th b'day on September 13, 2011
Double Bass, Mandolin, Violin, Western guitar and Banjo.
That's no violin, there, pilgrim -- that there's a fiddle! :)
This is badass!
Love the way they had that friendly banter in the beginning. Almost like he was capping on Bill Monroe a bit.
love
Great quality clip. Thanks for posting.
That is GREAT music
theres bad country music in the world today 2017 ,last 25 years , because people havent heard Bill MONROE .
I really like this song Terre mines meet whenever I was a little kid going to church
I give this a A+.
One of the very best ever
I've heard this version, Marty Stuart and the Superlatives and John Fogerty's version but no one could ever compare to the pastor of a church my mama drug me to when I was a teenager. His name was Joe Turner and he would sing this while playing the symbals and honey you want to talk about the power of God fallin. It fell. These were the types of services where people were saved, healed and delivered!!!! Not many believe God still does these things but he does. He's the same God, yesterday, today and forever, he hasn't changed. He's a miracle working God. Just believe in him!!!!!
Debbie Mcclure the
We have one of the best festivals on the East Coast in Woodstown NJ every Labor Day weekend. About a half hour from Philly
He was a good man
Wow! The first time I've ever heard those particular names.
Amen to that!
A big part of my childhood...
Hallelujah building for my lord🙏🌹
Yeah!
Perfect.
One of America's greatest treasures....
He's the first, and he always will be the best. He may have been matched, but he'll never be surpassed.
Also: This was during his feud with Gibson. Look at the headstock on his mandolin.
He would have loved to have my Dad's 1935 MARTIN MANDOLINE! We met at a Bluegrass Festival in the early 1970's. I was a Kid I met him too!
WELL DONE!

UncleDeuce. How bout Kenny's fiddle break? I understand he didn't start as a Bg fiddler. He played awesome
3 finger style guitar. Listen to his CD with Josh Graves.
God has given you folks an emblem of Heaven...
WOW!
Unreal!
Woodstown, huh? Cool I'll have to check that out.
THE BUILDING IS OUR TEMPLE OUR BODY JESUS DWELLS IN OUR TEMPLE
Great blue grass.
WOW the first time i herd bluegrass was while in church lol
Love bill monroe
GO THE BANJO!
bill monroe and kenny baker are awsome
Lots of Bg fiddle players are adding a 5th sting to their fiddles now. Bobby Hicks for 1. Bobby is an
accomplished banjo player too. Played on some Monroe hits. Little side story about Kenny Baker.
About 1971 a banjo player, life time pal o mine who is blind, and his parents arrived at Monroes
Beanblossom Ind Bg festival. Monroe had Kenny digging post holes with a post hole digger. Best
fiddle playing hands in Bg risking injury diggin holes. Go figger!!!
Kenny and Bill had a tumultuous relationship for around 40 years. Yet, each knew he needed the other and their love of the music kept them together. The few times I met Mr. Monroe, we really didn't connect, but Kenny was a great guy off stage as well as on it.
thank you lord
@williebrown01 Yeah, I saw Ralph Stanley a few years ago in an old movie theater in the Philly suburbs. Plus they got the Philadelphia folk Music Festival every year in Schwenksville PA. Rhona Vincent I saw at Longwood Gardens a few years back.
No hatred, prejudice, nor profanity. If this song had Nat King Cole playing piano in the background with Stevie Ray Vaughan leading, it would be the unbeatable greatest song ever
❤
Very nice. I like John Fogerty's version as well!
when i get to heaven's gates, if i'm required to sing a bill monroe song, i'll sing this one!
ha ha look @ the foot of the violinist move! Good job Guys
Nobody finer in Bluegrass fiddling than Kenny Baker.
[Chorus]
I'm a working on building[x3]
For my lord for my lord
It's a holy ghost building[x3]
For my lord for my lord
[Verse 1]
If I was a liar I tell you what I would do
I would quit my lying and work on a building too
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
If I was drunkard I tell you what I would do
I would quit my drinking and work on a building too
I'm a working on building
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
If I was a preacher I tell you what I would do
I would keep on preaching and work on a building too
I'm a working on building
[Chorus]
I would love to know this band lineup and approximate year of the performance. I saw several of these players with Bill back in the day, but the only name I remember is KB.
Working on a building; a monarchy is built, styled, after the Kingdom.
@jessewva: oh, you´re right! I was thinking about the Englisch Jazz man with the same name...
6 people like tearing down beautiful buildings.
Some of you experts, is that Vic Jordan (not playing) in the group. Looks like him. He played the ole 5 for
Big Mon for awhile. Then Jim & Jesse.
Definitely not VJ.
Holy shit, that's some falsetto.
Who are the guys in this band (besides Bill & Kenny?) The banjo player has amazing "bounce".
Such a high pitched voice from an old grandpa! :-)
When took this place??
For me Elvis Presleys version is the best of this classic.
