Mark Clark	Genealogy of Bluegrass (111* d)	RE: Genealogy of Bluegrass	12 Nov 09
deadfrett said “Monroe used an accordian and frailing style banjo(Stringbean) prior to Scruggs and still called it bluegrass.” True, Monroe recorded with an accordion and with clawhammer banjo. He also experimented with piano and electric guitar. But he didn't call it bluegrass and neither do scholars. Not everything Monroe played was bluegrass. He called his band The Blue Grass Boys but, according to scholars, the first ever bluegrass recording was made on Sept. 17, 1946. Will You Be Loving Another Man was the first recorded tune to have all the elements of what we call bluegrass. - Mark
