I belive it is. I obtained a set of pictures from an older VP in our company from Chicago. He went to Bean Blossom in the 70's while in college. He wasn't able to provide details of who was in the pictures. BTW, it is obvious he reversed the "Marty Stuart" pic as they are represented as being all "lefties".

Here's just one more from the collection.

That original photo (Marty Stuart) was reversed during the developing process in the 70's. Again, I received these photos from digital scans by the original photographer. He did a great job. I'm thankful he shared them with me as he is not "into" this style of music and I'm sure no one else has seen these images until now.

I wasn't there, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Here is one of the King of Bluegrass around 1968 when he found out I was recording his show with my reel tape recorder. He made me turn it off. Next show I kept it running with a cover over it so he couldn't see it running.

**f5loar** · Aug-20-2008, 11:58pm

Here is now Father of Bluegrass with the '68 line up of Roland White,guitar, Kenny Baker back on fiddle,Vic Jordan on banjo and James Monroe on bass. Great band that year.

Here is a rare photo of Monroe playing one of his Monroe model mandolins on stage.

**f5loar** · Aug-21-2008, 12:09am

A rare shot of Monroe playing Loar No. 73005 during the time his were in for firepoker repairs at Gibson.

That's priceless!

Tom,
You're lucky; the King of Bluegrass dealt with another offending tape recorder by just kicking it off the edge of the stage. The owner found the remains lying on the ground in front of the stage when he returned from a visit to the nearest porti-san.

At Indian Springs in '76 (I think), I found Bill Monroe, Kenny Baker and some other folks sitting around a picnic table playing fiddle tunes. Took some Ektachrome shots by the light of the Coleman lantern.
