Memorial Union Theatre, U Of W, Madison, WI
Media SHN   1 disc
Notes Bill Monroe is the undisputed father of Bluegrass, born September 13, 1911, in Kentucky. He was taught the mandolin by his uncle Pendleton Vandiver (later immortalized in the classic song "Uncle Pen"). During the 1940's, Bill played the Grand Ole Opry radio show on the weekends and on weekdays ran a traveling tent show. He died from a stroke on September 9, 1996, in Springfield, Tennessee, just four days shy of what would have been his 85th birthday. This show features Peter Rowan. Thanks Miles
