First off, I'm not a Grasser while at the same time I admire the playing skills of many Bluegrass Performers. I should mention that I have recently become a fan of Billy Strings.It is just that the music and the chop chord never did it for me and not that I don't think it is good. I don't want to offend the Grassers on here just like I don't expect everyone to be into old country and rockabilly.
My question evolves around another thread currently running asking what Bill Monroe tunes people play. I know exactly one, BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY. This was a tune that I always liked and didn't even know it was a Monroe tune until I saw the credits on the sheet music. Out of 15 responses to the other thread not one person mentioned BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY as being part of their repertoire. Is this not one of the tunes he was most recognized for? Kind of like YESTERDAY OR HEY JUDE that we would anticipate a Beatles Tribute band to play?
