CommentAnonymous Collection 001 Cassette #383 takes us to Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom Festival, Bean Blossom, IN, June 18, 1982. Side A leads off with
the tail end of a set by Jim & Jesse and the Virginia Boys (with Tim Crouch on fiddle). A set by Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys
(Wayne Lewis-guitar, Blake Williams-banjo, Kenny Baker-fiddle, & Mark Hembree-bass) follows. Notable is a guest vocal appearance
by Julia LaBella (The Texas Rose) who, despite their 44 year age difference, began a relationship with Monroe in 1976 (when she was
21 y.o. and he was 65) that lasted through the late-fall of 1982. A short set by the all-girl bluegrass band, the Wildwood Pickers
(Ma Koskela-bass, Kim Koskela-banjo, Susie Koskela-mandolin, Robin Koskela-vocals, Holly (Hollis) Brown-fiddle, and Muriel
Anderson-guitar), rounds out the tape. Muriel Anderson went on to significant fame in the guitar world-she is a renowned classical
fingerstylist, and won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 1989.
