Bill Monroe When Monroe auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry for manager George D. Hay, director at WSM, Hay told him he and the Bluegrass Boys could start playing at the Opry or could go play somewhere else, but if he performed on the Opry the only way he'd leave the show would be to fire himself. (said to band member Peter Rowan) "Let them fine, high tones ring out. Don't flowery it up too much, boy you got to love that melody, and work at it so's the people will love it the same way. You got to chase the melody like a foxhound." (describing bluegrass) "It's a music built around my style of mandolin playing and singing. It's got a hard drive to it, and Scotch bagpipes and old-time fiddle. It has Methodist and Holiness and Baptist church sounds in it, and blues, and jazz. It has a high, lonesome sound. It's a plain music, and it tells a good story. It's played from my heart to your heart, and I hope it touches you the way I enjoy it."

Bill Monroe (1911- 1996) and his brothers Charlie and Birch grew up in Ohio County, KY. The brothers learned to play mandolin, fiddle, and guitar and to sing old songs from their mother and her brother Uncle Pen. Their parents died when Bill was ten, and Charlie and Birch headed north looking for work while Bill lived with Uncle Pen. Bill continued to play old-time dance music with his uncle; "We used to ride mule and play for square dances around the county." Bill picked up a range of influences during this time, learning to play the blues on the fiddle and guitar from Arnold Schultz and practicing Sacred Harp and sharp-note singing in churches.

BILL MONROE Born in 1911 in Rosine, Kentucky, Bill Monroe grew up in a family of amateur musicians. Taking up mandolin, he started his professional music career in a duo with his brother Charlie. The Monroe Brothers sang about sin and redemption with ethereal, haunting harmonies, the music reflecting the hardscrabble lives of their rural audience. After the brothers split up in 1938, Bill formed His Blue Grass Boys and in the process created bluegrass, a hybrid of old-timey string music, gospel, blues and mandolin-driven hoedown music. A brilliant songwriter, Monroe developed a repertoire featuring classics like his home state homage "Blue Moon of Kentucky"; his heartfelt paean to the relative who encouraged his music, "Uncle Pen"; and his supercharged version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Muleskinner Blues." Monroe's distinctive tenor personified the high lonesome sound of mountain music. As a band leader Monroe discovered and nurtured numerous instrumentalists who populated his group until 1996, when a stroke finally sidelined him at age 85. Courtesy of palmpictures.com

home today's Asian Business Strategy Ezine Columns Pearl of the Orient Seas : The Real Time Modern Manila Blues: Bill Monroe Meets Muddy Waters in the Orient The Real Time Modern Manila Blues: Bill Monroe Meets Muddy Waters in the Orient Clarence Henderson, 2nd July 2003 It's early Sunday morning in Manila, roundabout daybreak, my back aches, and work is screaming for my attention, but it is the Lord's day, the seventh day upon which one is 'sposed to rest. Unfortunately, being a workaholic, my idea of recreation is to write a gonzo Pearl instead of cranking out yet another high falutin' economistic development-jargon laden document. To facilitate the endeavor, I have opted for a creativity soundtrack featuring Muddy Waters alternating with Bill Monroe under the headphones while allowing my fingers to roam about the keyboard, aided and abetted by random free associations generated from some odd corner of a now-presumably mature hillbilly intellect full of residual memories and burdened by an acute and growing awareness of human mortality and the fact that everything always ends up coming full circle. Yep, it's one of those Pearls. In keeping with my protestations about heavy lifestyle demands in the previous Pearl, 'tis time for yet another spontaneous gonzolic ramble.
