Ya gotta hear Bill Monroe do this one. Bumba and Maybank sung this wonderful song yesterday and I am posting it just to present it – to introduce it to you. And if you like it at all please refer to the great Bill Monroe.
There’s a lot of Bill Monroe on UTube, and of course even more on records, CDs, etc. The father of Bluegrass did not write this one, but it was one of his signature songs. Of course, you must hear it sung by Bill Monroe – who could reach those high notes with such facility. And play the mandolin so masterfully. And knock off these wonderful songs in a New York minute – or was in a Kentucky Blue Moon? The lyrics to this song are among the most beautiful and pleasing to my mind, which I admit is not saying much. But check out the great Bill Monroe and this lovely song despite everything I’ve been saying.
