California with Bill Monroe - Goldrush video free download

Rick Czechowski

Don't worry...he KNOWS who Bill Monroe is (or was, RIP). The introducer, Byron Berline, played with Bill in his Bluegrass Boys band and actually co-wrote this song with Bill. He was obviously using understatement in his introduction.

The introducer needs to get his facts straight. Bill Monroe created bluegrass lol not just been in it for a long time lol.

At about :40..... I haven't been that proud in a good while....if you look up toward Bill and behind him you can see the Gibson Poster that Jim Silliman did the photography for and was the most popular Blue Grass Poster ever..... 30,000 of them printed.... I'm sure glad Henry allowed us to do that.... Bill not liking a dobro?... he didn't dislike a dobro,,,,just didn't need one in the Blue Grass Boys..... Byron Berline was one of Bill's Best Friends.... I'm sure Bill had no problem with picking a tune with Byron, John, Dan, Mark, Jerry........... He loved to pick with his friends........

...HillbillyJ, are you sure Bill's break was edited, or did he just go into the ditch at 1:42. Apparently Bill was uptight about who he was playing with,...-not his band! It would have been better,...sans a dobro !...Bill and dobros didn't mix, you know!!

@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr I play Piano, French Horn, (if you count it) Jew's Harp, and I'm learning to play the Banjo.

@MeatIsbetter I started on guitar age 11, and still flatpick - learned from the Oleee Timers.. old plank floors, Franklin wood stoves and music all night long - great way to grow up. I was about 12 years, and one day someone brought in the biggest instrument I'd ever seen - and when it filled up the room with low notes I was Hooked! Been doing bluegrass, swing and gypsy ever since! And you... Banjer only?

Jordan Knope

@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr :) If the French Horn were in there it would so own... Just wondering, do you play anything else besides bass?

GodsFavoriteBassPlyr

@MeatIsbetter (shhh... I agree, but didn't want to say anything... you know how 'sensitive' the fiddlers get ;) Thanks! (for the record.. it's really the Bass that carries the show!)

@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr BANJOS ARE BETTER!!!!!! haha the fiddles are a nice touch in the pure awesomeness of the banjo.

For all us would be mandolin players... notice his right hand moving, nothing else. No elbows, shoulders, etc..
