Set 3

CommentBlue Grass Boys at the time were Blake Williams-banjo, virtual unknown Randall “Randy” Franks-fiddle (Franks was a Blue Grass Boy for less than a month from 10/30 – 11/23/84,
the time frame when this show was recorded; certainly a key bit of esoteric knowledge useful in any game of bluegrass trivia!), Clarence “Tater” Tate-fiddle, bass, and Wayne Lewis-guitar.
A highlight of the set is the guest appearance of mandolinist and vocalist John Duffey on several tracks, especially for a heartfelt duet with Monroe on “Remember The Cross”,
a song Monroe had written in the 1940’s, but had completely forgotten all about! A special moment. Monroe’s brother Birch may appear on “Ragtime Annie”.
