@went11808 жыл бұрын
+Joel White I don't think penury was the reason for one microphone. Bill Monroe was already a legend by the time of this recording and could afford as many mics as he wanted. The one microphone technique is popular because it allows the musicians to "mix" the sound as they go by adjusting their distance to the microphone, and also simplifies setup. I'm sure the savings do play a part in many groups' decision to go this way, it's just not the primary reason.

Great b&w clip: Bill with his Boys: PETE ROWAN, gtr; DON LINEBURGER (left-handed!), Gibson RB-250 "bowtie" Mastertone banjo; GENE LOWINGER, fiddle and JAMES MONROE, bass. Bill "Brad" Keith had left the group a while before, but Don had taken on alot of those "Keith-style" licks and the only left-handed banjo player Monroe ever had or, maybe, any of the major bluegrass groups ever had. Can't think of alot of "lefties" in bluegrass - fiddle Bobby Slone was one, but, boy, I dunno.... Anyway, I enjoyed this one!

Not Bill Keith on banjo. His name is Don Lineberger. The fact he is a lefty is the give away, and that it is 1965.

Don was a good friend of Louis Osteen and I. Shortly after this Don was was replaced by Lamar Grier and played at Whispering Pines, music park near Clayton Georgia. To a about 15 pleople. It rained and we all were on the small stage to stay out of the rain. Louis, Al Osteen and I did go to Nashville to visit Don, picked some and went to the Opra. I think Don was the only left handed banjo player Bill had and he was really good, and was a real good one for Monroe's Band.

I also like the slow folk ballads, as Doc Watson sang so well. But threaten me with having to sit through an hour of songs like Achee Breaky Heart (sic) or D.I.V.O.R.C.E. .... shoot me now.
