The legendary "Father of Bluegrass" demonstrates the amazing mandolin technique and repertoire that have made him world-famous. He plays over 25 great tunes (some never heard before), including favorites such as Rawhide, Wheel Hoss, Muleskinner Blues, Tennessee Blues, Dusty Miller, Roanoke, Back to the Old Home, Pike County Breakdown, and many more. A must for his countless fans and for all mandolinists!
Our camera's eye reveals, up close, Bill's incredible facility and inventiveness on the mandolin. He plays and sings both solo and backed up by the Blue Grass Boys. In an intimate conversation with fellow musician John Hartford, Bill discusses a wide variety of topics: His musical development, ideas about performing and songwriting, memories of childhood, early touring days, his years on the Grand Ole Opry, and much more.
Extra! As a special bonus, we have added previously unseen footage of a performance for President Jimmy Carter at the White House in 1980, including rare duets between Bill Monroe and Doc Watson.

Thank you for presenting this. Was wonderful to see Bill Monroe play up close & some of it slow enough to pick up some technique. And it was terrific to see John Hartford (the interviewer) again. He was such a great musician, song writer, comedian (wrote for the Smothers Brothers t.v. program), all around good guy. I miss him. He also wrote the introduction to Dennis White's CD, "Elbow Room". Dennis was the president of the Montana Mandolin Society. Dennis could play a properly strung barbwire fence! If you've not heard that album, you are living beneath your privilege.

I do love this tape, and learned a lot from it, but it makes me laugh how hard John Hartford is trying to politely squeeze information out of Bill. John Hartford: Mr. Monroe, could you play that again, real slow? Monroe: Sure ::Plays it exactly the same speed as before:: Hartford: ...

This man seems nervous. His background should be checked.
