Bill Monroe & Monroe Brother Song Books

[mandoplayer00]

I have been doing some research on the Monroe Brothers, Bill and Charlie. Their original combined career and then their deviations after they broke apart.

Years ago on the internet there was a site that had full downloads of song books that many of the 1st generation bands had put out through the years. I never took advantage of the history that was preserved there as I should have and now have questions as I do my studying of the Monroe's. I am sure the gentleman who ran that site had almost all of these posted.

I was hoping perhaps some people would be willing to post pics of the known Monroe Song Books that may exist outside of what I have pics of posted below. I have posted both Monroe Song books, what I believe is the first Bill Monroe solo song book prior to his Opry audition and then the two while on the Opry. I know the Song Folio #1 was later reprinted. There is also one with 200 Songs that was printed in the 1980's but I am not sure Bill was directly affiliated with its release.

From there I have posted 2 Charlie Monroe song books. I have another one but didn't have a pic handy at the time I am posting this.

I think it would be beneficial for pics to be submitted for other bands as well to help people find and collect this rare history of Bluegrass Music.

Thanks again for your contribution to my efforts to gain full insight into these song books for the Monroe Brothers and their careers!
