I love the way Mr. Monroe lifts the mandolin in the B part. What a great tune, and thanks for posting.

Bill Monroe was a genius as much as a man who would push himself and best anyone at music. He went into it like a bloodsport
Kevin Briggs
Bill needed a band like this! He's in his element with these great players.
Linda Harrison
Watching the fiddle players is like watching poetry in motion - absolutely brilliant!!!

Byron Berline is one of the best there is.
Ryan Sansom
Outstanding performance of this tune. Even in his older years Bill could still make that old Loyd Loar sing. This band had one fine line up of musicians. Byron and Mark are fantastic on the twin fiddles on this number.
James Marshall
Awesome. Byron aand Mark with Bill on mando and Jerry on dobro. As a multi-instrumentalist it don't get no better.
Gregory Hulbert
Don't forget that young dobro player; he sounds pretty good playing with Mr. Bill.
Larry Sexton
Wow! That's wonderful!It's really cool how those fiddlers keep their timing together!
