Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys with special guest Doc WatsonLive at the White House 1980 

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.

​@@nc4tnI'm right there with ya on that. I love Kenny and Vassar. Vassar could really put the blues into his playing.

Muh BiLly sTriNgS.

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.

​@@nikpellinen2010 Agreed, a rising tide lifts all boats. Billy's the biggest thing to happen to bluegrass since Oh Brother Where Art Thou

@@sallyemma9669 Newgrass Revival was the biggest thing to happen to bluegrass since Bill Monroe. Much to Monroes chagrin. :-)

@@dishusse Old and In The Way???

Carter was NOT the last decent man to sit in the white house..... Ronald Reagan was.

​@@MrZiggy-pm9rzReagan was horrible!

Hahahahaha. Who played banjo for Obama's campaign? What Democrat was a Klansman? Give your head a shake.

@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.

Taking your life in your hands messing with Bill’s stage set-up.

Screw a "president."

He started off "Unkle Pen" a little fast ... but Bill and the band just rolled with it and it was great.

His fiddle sounds so good under the mike!

Wayne Lewis is one of the most underrated of all Blue Grass Boy guitarists.

Calm down fanboy

Sadly, the bots do that on their own!

His f5 that he normally played was having work done to it at this time. It was only temporary haha

I believe it was "My Last Days on Earth."

credits at end say guitar is Wayne Lewis

@@larrywillard844 Thanks very much, and have a great weekend!

Bless your heart. TDS is awful, isn't it?

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.
