oh man. Nice recording Of Kenny. I was privileged to be able to see him live a few times with Monroe and he would often come to the camp grounds and parking lots and jam with the fans. Kenny was one of those guys who just loved to play.
@@columbia1930 - I heard a story about Tony and Wyatt had a gig with Doc. They had a binge rehearsal about 30 minutes before showtime. The Rice Brothers fogged the small room out the piont that Doc walked out.
Bill Monroe was NOT an old coot . He was the most respected man in the world when the subject " bluegrass music" was brought up. I had the HONOR to shake his hand at Bean blossom in 1971 when I came back from Vietnam. He belongs on Mount Rushmore? R. I.P. Mister Monroe - What a man? They don't make men like him anymore . Nuff said 🙏🇺🇲
Fantastic performance. I love Mr. Kirby's steadfast support and his smile at the end. I can't believe this doesn't have more views or comments. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so much for posting these types of videos! I heard alot about my great uncle Buddy Thomas my whole life, my great grandmother whom I called mamaw Jean (Buddy's sister Iva Jean) and my grandma Sue talked about him and his music all the time! Love this
My father and I went to a bluegrass festival in Virginia Beach in 1987, where Bill Monroe headed the lineup of bluegrass stars appearing there. We followed him from the stage to his bus and he had two armed guards escort him from the stage to his bus and his mandolin was in a protective case. We got his autograph and spoke with him. What a wonderful memory of the father of bluegrass and my own father who passed away the following year.
Wonderful video...I believe this was recorded at Backstage Music in Glasgow Ky., owned by the late Kenny Weber and most certainly him on rhythm guitar.
