Mrs. Bill Monroe?

"..., Why isn't it publicized or why hasn't she laid some claim to the name of Bill Monroe? ..."

Maybe she's been taken care of...
Maybe she wants it left at that...
Maybe she's got class.........

Can you say groupies?

I knew that you could!

Man, this has been going on since the they invented entertainment and Bill (it would appear) was no different than rock bands of today. #Seems like the whole thing was more on the DL when Bill was alive.

Contemporary musicians don't have a lock on fast livin'. #Google Beethoven and "The Immortal Beloved". #Ever since his relatives cleaned out the then dead pianist's desk, they found a couple photos and a couple letters to an 'Immortal Beloved' they've been trying to fingure out who she is. #The most likely object of his affections was the wife of one of his benefactors...... #your mother warned you about musicians #

Knowing how fond Big Mon was of all the ladies I wouldn't be surprised if there are several Georgia Roses out there,
and a few Little Maggies, a few Darling Coras and probably a few little Joes running around out there today.
He did travel all 50 States without his wife.

...don't forget 'Virginia Darling' !

A good update on this thread is found in the reading of Tom Ewing's new book on Monroe. He discusses in depth about Monroe's first wife, the Bessie Lee divorce claims and last wife Della S. It seems Monroe never really lost it for the first wife as she continued to stay involved in his business life until she died.
