The fiddle player, Kenny Baker, was the longest tenured Bluegrass Boy. He was a force with which to be reckoned and is the gold standard for Bluegrass fiddling.
Kenny’s style was somewhat different that some of the other blue grass fiddlers because of his early Western swing influence. I rate Kenny and Vassar Clements as the greatest in Bill’s band.
This is so awesome on so many levels. Billy Strings introduced me to Doc Watson and Robert Earle Keen to Bill Monroe. This is a priceless treasure. Thanks for posting.
I've loved bluegrass all my life and I'm glad that Billy Strings is inspiring a whole new generation of pickers and listeners and introducing people to the greats like Doc and Bill. People who dunk on Billy Strings for not being trad bluegrass are ridiculous.
I enjoyed seeing president Carter introduce these great American musicians to the Whitehouse. He was the last truly decent man to hold that high office.
@jeremybubalough82,Ur CRAZY REAGAN was THE LAST TRUE AND REAL PRESIDENT.Carter was an idiot and still is,He doesn't and didn't support Israel ,when he left office we couldn't buy a home cause interest rates were so high,and he was what got us humiliated in Iran,with our helicopters crashing in the desert.No sir he was and still would be an idiot,he would support Biden another idiot .Long live Reagan and now TRUMP.
Oh fer sure, the blues and scots-irish music have no sinful content of any kind. Songs about lonely despair, murder, alcoholism, adultery, and robbery are all just to illustrate how much the eternal, almighty God is upset about thse human foibles.
@@rabokarabekian409 There is no contradiction in recognizing that we're sinners and objecting to the idolatry behind statism. Indeed, it is the first step to recovery. To see Bill Monroe revere a politician at the head of the evil is disheartening. It seems at this point it will take an act of God for anyone to wake up from their slumber. The plunderous state is venerated by everyone from Average Joe to gospel musicians.
I like Bill Monroe,however our country needs a PRESIDENT WITH BACKBONE,carter,clinton,obama and now bidet sure had and have no Backbone. GICE US TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!.
