    I met Bill Monroe during my short career building mandolins in Belgrade, MT. He was a quiet gent that never spoke much in casual conversation. When asked a question, his answer was short and to the point. He spoke only briefly about his early days playing bluegrass. He passed a short time later, letting his legasy be in his recordings and future bands. Even young bluegrassers of the '60s and '70s are gone, leaving room for many new groups in this age.

    Great video. Wish you had of included the story about him scratching the word Gibson off the headstock, leaving only the word 'The".

    Used to go to bluegrass festivals all over Virginia and North Carolina. Bill Monroe would be up on stage playing and our group would be up in the camp ground playing music ourselves. We didn’t stop to go see him play on stage. Happened like that numerous times. We just took it for granted. Wished I’d gone down to watch him more now that he’s gone. Too late now. I have got my picture taken with him one time though. Still have that picture.

    Monroe did play on TV during the mid-50s, appearing on "The Country Show", which was an offshoot of the the Grand Old Opry. He didn't appear on many shows as far as I know, but the shows are rebroadcast on RFD=TV on Saturdays.

    Many interesting facts are left behind, such as the everlasting conflicts with his bandmates. And why he mistrusted so many people who supported him. Based on his unhappy childhood - he never trusted anyone.

    The Monroe brothers actually went to work for Sinclair Oil in the refinery at Whiting Indiana a suburb of Chicago. To my knowledge they never worked for Standard Oil.
