    I was fortunate enough to meet Larry Sledge at the Bass Pro Shop parking lot in Springfield, Mo., back in 1988, I believe it was. He was playing with a Bluegrass band. I walked up and said hello, and asked his name. I noticed his Gibson F5 had studs in the headstock, kind of unusual, I thought. The F5 looked well played and old. I think that might have been an actual Lloyd Loar F5, cause it sounded so good. I later found out Larry had played on the MOB album. I do have that album from about 1981. I bought it at CSC in Louisville, Ky that year. I also have a cassette copy I bought at the time. It's one of my favorite Bill Monroe albums.

    Shaun's idea of Compton plays Master of Bluegrass is brilliant! Hope you're tuned in Mike Compton! Please do this for us!!!

    Is that a rubber duckie you've got there in the rhythm section of "Old Daingerfield ?"

    (Sorry ... I meant to reply to your "mangler" album quote but posted on this comment - can't delete it now. Bill Monroe does not have a rubber duckie playing in the rhythm section of his album ... No.)

    Hey Alan, good seeing you at the jam the other week. This MOB thread comes to life again! I have a copy of the album on loan from a buddy in Chapel Hill and in addition to the "Go Hither..." snafu it also doesn't credit a banjo player. I assume it's Butch Robins on all tracks but it lists him as mandolin along with Jesse and Larry on the back of the cover. I got on this jag a little partly because Butch has been dropping in on a weekly bluegrass performance in Durham lately.

    I'd be interested to know the track credits. I'm pretty sure I hear Norman's backup on Old Ebenezer, but which others does he play on?

    And Spruce how cool would it be to compare against the personnel playing on your live compilation?! In all your spare time...!

    Cheers,
    Z

    I will say again here on this thread...such a great album but I wish they would re-master it without all that incessant reverb!
