Thread Name: source for ALL Bill Monroe tunes names?
Subject: RE: source for ALL Bill Monroe tunes names?
Not sure how Monroe qualifies as unique, there being so many bluegrass musicians who worked with him and followed him--also not sure why it is so important that the tunes be tunes he had written, particularly given that he took songwriter/composer credits for many pieces that were really traditional--at any rate:


I went to the BMI site(Monroe's tunes are registered with BMI) and did a search on for the writer composer--came up with 233 titles--this is the link, though I couldn't get the blue clicky maker to make a blue clicky, so you'll have to cut and paste--hope it works--if it doesn't, just go to BMI.com and do the search yourself--
