Nitpick much? Actually I “knew” Mr. Bill and spoke with him on many occasions during the 80’s. I have heard it mentioned from several reliable sources including James Monroe that Bill was a “big” fan...

There are many lyrics in Roll on Ky Moon that are very similar to the lyrics in Blue Moon of Ky so I’d say he might have gotten a few ideas from it, which is perfectly fine for Blue Moon of Ky us...

I know Mr. Monroe was a big fan of Jimmy Rodgers and while listening to Rodgers this morning {my 5 yr old boy loves Monroe and Rodgers} I heard this song for the first time. I wonder if Bill might...

I have a 520vs The Loar that I acquired used from a neighbor. He wanted to sell it cheap do to the fact he didn’t like the sound. It sounded more like a shoebox than a mandolin, just dead sounding...

What's really funny is that on that very trip into the White House, Bill was packing a .357 Magnum in his Valise!!! In the White House mind you!!

Here's the YouTube clip Dan in Va was referring to. Kenny kicks it off at 2:38 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu5J5UCvUEw&feature=related

Thank you Evan!

Evan, what song is Decca NA 15846?

What song is master number Na 15846 Evan?

Bill's farm in Goodlettsville wasn't all that different from the wooded hills he knew as a child growing up around Rosine and it's that childhood home that he tried to recreate and was most...

If you'll look under galleries and click on I Hear A Voice Calling 2, there are some nice pictures of Bill at home.

Here's a link to some great pictures of Bill by Gene Lowinger http://www.genelowinger.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=31&p=0&a=0&at=0

No, it's definitely not Pike County Breakdown. I've never heard him play it anywhere other than in this movie. I'm beginning to think it's something he came up with on the spot.

Does anybody know the tune he picks when he first takes The mandolin out on the porch?

Thanks for the info. At least someone is living there and it's not just setting there going to ruins. Yeah, the house is just to the left of the barn, surrounded by the trees.

The Google photo is relatively new. The large estate at the end of the road wasn't there in 1997 also the garden is missing....

Looks like it's been there a while. Sure is a big house built at the end of the road. I'd think that was part of Bill's 288 acres. Looks like someone has broke a garden behind Bill's cabin too.

I was playing around with Google Maps and found Bill's farm on the satellite image and got to wondering who it belongs to now. I know Gaylord bought it at the auction, just wondering if they still...

I'd say it's legit. Certainly looks like Bill's handwriting. I'd say he started writing with a ballpoint and then restarted with a sharpie. I've got one autograph from him that he used a ballpoint on...

From what I know of Bill Monroe, I'd say he would. Remember, he was the strict defender of how it was to be played.

I don't listen to the radio much other than cd's and records of the greats like Bill or the Stanley Brothers or Lester Flatt. While on a camping trip this weekend, I came across a radio station that...

Those are the mighty hands of the great Bill Monroe:mandosmiley:

Wow!!!! This is incredible sound quality! I haven't heard him play that number in a long, long time besides on the "Master of Bluegrass". Thanks a million:)

Thanks for any help you can provide! I'd love to hear the whole show:grin:

Thanks! Wish "Evening Prayer Blues" was included:crying:
