In those days, I had never heard of the Monroe Brothers, or even of Bill Monroe. I&#8217;m not sure I even knew what bluegrass was.<\/p>\n<p>Many years later, I&#8217;ve heard a lot of Bill Monroe records, but I don&#8217;t know any I like better than the ones he did at the beginning of his career with his brother Charlie playing guitar and singing harmony. (Actually, I guess Charlie sang lead and Bill sang high tenor, as in his bluegrass bands.)<\/p>\n<p>I used to play this song a lot &#8212; along with &#8220;Katy Cline,&#8221; which I got from the Greenbriar Boys (of whom more will be said in later posts), it was what I&#8217;d pull out at bluegrass jams, and I also played it fairly often at bar gigs. It was upbeat and energetic, and gave me a chance to do some Woody-style flatpicking. Then at some point in the late 1980s I stopped using a flatpick and decided to come up with a way to play it with my fingers, and worked out a fancy fingerstyle arrangement&#8230; and somehow, it just wasn&#8217;t the same.<\/p>\n<p>So I didn&#8217;t play it for a couple of decades or more, and then I got to doing this project and tried it out, using my fingers, because I don&#8217;t use a flatpick anymore. And it wasn&#8217;t working, so I dug out a flatpick, and damn&#8230; it&#8217;s still fun. I also dug out a harmonica, since I used to play harmonica breaks on this one, and that&#8217;s still fun, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got this from Jack Elliott, who presumably got it from the Monroe Brothers, and it gives me an excuse to pull out a flatpick and a harmonica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
