Here's a wonderful recording of an interview with Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt done shortly after they reconciled after a 35-year feud....
A classic piece of bluegrass music history...
Enjoy!

I heard that years ago.
Nobody could figure out who it was for sure, but we had some ideas...
Funny stuff, that.

some 20 years ago I heard a similiar interview done with just Lester Flatt(voice done by Keith Whitley)in which Flatt talks about the problems with Monroe in more depth than this one. Anybody got a copy of that one they could post here? I heard it from Darryl Wolfe's dad back then on cassette tape. It was way funnier than this one and Lester used a lot of cuss words.
I suspect the voice doing Monroe on the one above is Glen Duncan.
Ive got one of Donna Fargos old bus driver doing Flatt....doing a radio interview on WSEXX....absolutley the best Flatt impersonation Ive ever heard.....very funny stuff....To quote Flatt " Bluegrass was here before a horn was on a car"
Boy, howdy; the fellow playing Lester sounds like the genuine article, for sure. "Bill" really has quick responses to the questions and sounds pretty good also. A fun interview!
"I suspect the voice doing Monroe on the one above is Glen Duncan."
Correctomando!....
With Charlie Van...
"Lance is Ronnie McCoury."

OK, I was listening to this again and laughing my head off. I know it's Glen Duncan doing Monroe, I've heard him do this other places -- notably in the outro to "Train that Carried My Girl from Town" on one of the Longview CD's. So Lance is Ronnie McC. But -- who is Flatt?? He sounds so much like Lester I can't believe it isn't him.
You've got to love the comments about Curly Seckler being better than Monroe -- and that there was a lot more cheating going on in the BG Boys band than Curly putting a cheater on his mando to play in closed chords...
Please help!
Spruce - could you possibly re-post that clip you posted a few weeks ago of "Kentucky Mandolin"? I love that version, and would like to hear it again. Thanks, Frank.

haha..I just read the first post, clicked the link and walked in the kitchen for a snack and couldn't believe what I was hearing. Got me!

Whether you slow your roll or mash on it, enjoy the ride.
If you want to hear Keith Whitley doing his famous Lester Flatt imitation, listen to J D Crowe and the New South (1979-04-18) - Kosei Nenkin Sho Hall, Tokyo, Japan . On the 2nd disc the whole band impersonates the Foggy Mountain Boys circa 1962 (Carnegie Hall concert era), with the Martha White Theme (Bobby Sloane doing a great Paul Warren imitation), The Ballad Of Jed Clampett and Foggy Mountain Breakdown. "Lester" does some mighty fine MC work.
