    Love how abstract Monroe's solo is on "When You Are Lonely." Lots of arpeggios and to hell with the melody. And then there's that tone.

    Bill Monroe sitting in with Larry Sparks band at The Station Inn in the late 80s, performing a medley of songs.

    Notice the mandolin Mr. Monroe is holding/playing...looks like a 60s vintage F5 maybe?

    Thanks, Nick, for keeping them coming. That mandolin should be the obscure wide-bodied 1941 F5 M, the one Grisman used on his Tone Poems II CD.

    I saw Dave Harvey perform with a mandolin like that one in the late 1990s. Could be the same one since I think Dave played with Larry Sparks?

    Absolutely, David played with Larry Sparks ("Count Sparcula") from 1985 to around 87, if I'm not mistaken. Possibly it's that mandolin David plays on Sparks' "Silver Reflections" from 1987; highly recommended that one.

    Another version of Uncle Pen from right after Butch Robbins left the band and Blake Williams replaced him.
    Also prior to Kenny Baker leaving so the Loar is pre-fire poker decimation; that manlin' sounds great!

    Thanks Nick, I've been watching for a new one from you!
    Nobody played fiddle like Kenny! A friend of mine and I used to bake cookies for Bill and the boys, for Jim and Jesse, Doyle et al, too
    She has continued the tradition from her home in Florida. I have not had the time and drive to do it anymore. One night before she headed out to a festival with 200 cookies(I'm NOT kidding!) we were up until about five in the morning! "These are for Kenny, these are for Blake, these are for Wayne,......"
    It was nuts!

    Bluegrass Breakdown from the Austin City Limits show of 1981...Butch Robbins said he was "dueling" with Monroe on his breaks, trying to one-up him, and that Monroe put him in his place and winked at him on his mando break...classic!

    Now, that's what I think of as "playing" music. They clearly had a good time doing that show!
    Good to be home and seeing a fresh one Nick!

    I always think that Bill Monroe 'sounds like Bill Monroe' regardless of the mandolin that he plays,& IMO,most times he does,but that Larry Sparks clip is the exception. It's no wonder that BM didn't really play it. Methinks he liked it 'not much' ?. I've never seen Bill Monroe simply hold a mandolin for so long without taking a break on it,

    He liked the "jaunty, devil-may-care look" I never saw him adjust his hat come to think of it, they stayed where he put them! I miss Kenny!
