    Thanks, Don. He takes CHTGY at a good clip here, much faster than the recorded version on MOB.

    Tim,

    It's been a Hard Days Night; working 2 peanuts jobs to survive; I'm alive but it's a struggle and hassle to get online too!

    Rawhide from the Alabama Jubilee show in early 86'...Monroe is playing the 1978 F5L that Gibson & Roger Siminoff had gifted to him, whilst his Loar was being put back together again by Charlie D.

    I really like Mr. Monroe’s playing in this version. Of the 87 banjo players that worked for the band, who was this one, and what do you think Mr. Monroe might have been saying to him after his break?

    Bill,

    The banjo picker was Blake Williams, I believe...

    Missed the last few posts until this morning Nick, thanks! Nice way to come out of being laid out from throwing my back out and being laid out flat for four days!
    I love Blake’s playing, I wonder what that (lengthy) chat was about too!?
    Saw a rerun of a “Larry’s country diner”on RFD TV last night with Bobby Osborne, playing is showing the years but, voice sure wasn’t! He looked a little frail to be honest.
    See them while we can, even recorded, the first generation is passing quickly anymore. Makes me proud to have seen them in years gone by. This thread keeps jogging my memory of seeing all the originals. Thank Nick!

    Nick, I have the original recording of "Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine' and I noticed that on the video that you posted a while back that Bill changed the words ever so slightly, they make more sense the way he did it on the video, I guess now I will have to sing it the "new" way...A great song...

    Thanks for posting all of those videos, sure is some great stuff ...

    Thanks Nick. I've watched that one many times before. Hadn't thought about if for a while though and it was nice to be reminded! And of course I have to play along with that one. Then as usual, that one led to a few more 'Bill' videos, then onto more by Ronny M. And then a few by the 'Earls' and naturally I had to watch the Flatt and Scruggs vids that came up. And I have to shapen up my tuning a few cents to play along with those guys.
    Much more time spent than I'd planned to spend on this screen tonight.
    So...Thanks Nick... I guess.

    I do find it funny how Bill refers to Del as”Dale” especially funny when Del tells the story.
