That was pretty stupid, wasnt it? I meant something like "well enough to earn the grudging (and handsy) approval..." I heard Monroe play at the Exit/In in Nashville and tried to interview him. A sour old gent, but that didnt make him a banjo-player.
A great mandolin player, though. Also, the father of bluegrass. It's interesting. I know of people in the business who found him to be funny and lovable, and others who found him to be even more sour than you did!
Mr. Blount, I love you, but since Bill Monroe never played banjo in his life, that didn't exactly come out as praise for Roni Stoneman.

Thanks for reminding me about Bab-O
