Comment
Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys (with guests), The Goins Brothers, Mac Wiseman, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
Bean Blossom Festival
Bean Blossom, IN
6/18/1981
Notes:
Side A (Disc One): Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys
Side B (Disc Two): The Goins Brothers (1-7) Mac Wiseman (8-11), Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (12-17)
Anonymous Collection Cassette #327 features recordings made at Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom Festival, Bean Blossom, IN,
June 18-20, 1981. Side A features Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys (in all likelihood, Wayne Lewis-guitar, Kenny
Baker-fiddle, Butch Robins-banjo, & Mark Hembree-bass, although there are edits between tracks making it difficult to
identify band members). Several guests appear, including mandolinists Jesse McReynolds (of Jim & Jesse fame) and Larry
Sledge (who played and recorded with many people, including Monroe and Norman Blake's Rising Fawn String Ensemble).
Circulating recordings of Monroe in 1981 are relatively scarce. Monroe was diagnosed with cancer that year, and spent
time away from the stage recovering from his treatment; thus, this tape should be quite appealing to Monroe collectors.
For me, the most interesting tunes in the set are several relatively new-for-the-time instrumentals Come Hither To Go
Yonder, The Road to Columbus, Melissa's Waltz for J.B., Old Ebenezer Scrooge, Grassy Fiddle Blues (a fine Kenny Baker
showpiece), and the mysterious first track. Side B of the tape features several partial sets by the tradition-minded
Goins Brothers (Melvin Goins-guitar, Ray Goins-banjo, Art Stamper-fiddle, & Dan Jones-bass), Mac Wiseman (The Voice With
a Heart, backed by an unknown band and singing a number of tunes seldom heard on other circulating tapes of this
marvelous performer), and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (Doyle Lawson-mandolin, Terry Baucom-banjo, Lou Reid-bass, & Jimmy
Haley-guitar) with their always stellar vocal harmonies and instrumental work. --Mitchell Wittenberg
