    Re: Bluegrass blues instrumentals?

    Mike Guggino’s Knob Creek is a good one. Also not a 12 bar form.

    Re: Bluegrass blues instrumentals?

    Maury River Blues is not a 12 bar structure, but I think it qualifies as a bluegrass blues instrumental.

    Re: Bluegrass blues instrumentals?

    David McLaughlin wrote a couple of Monroe-inspired bluegrass blues instrumentals too. Georgia Stomp is one of them.

    Re: Is anyone else scared of Bill Monroe?

    What, is the thread done? I was hoping to see if anyone could validate the stories about Bill offering fist fight challenges to his audience after shows.

    Jim Hinde is busily building a reputation, and mandolins that are second to none. And I mean none.

    Re: Is anyone else scared of Bill Monroe?

    When I answer yes, I’m afraid of Bill Monroe, it just means that I have more respect and awe of him and what he accomplished than conventional language can convey.
