I decided to revive this old thread because
Bill Monroe's WSM Grand Ole Opry Song Folio
No. 2 was purchased at Goodwill for $1.50 recently.
Copyright date 1953 Peer International, New York.
A Google search would find Folio No. 1 on E-bay and
other places but no reference to Folio No.2.

I know what songs are in Folio No, 2 and wonder about
the index listing for Folio No 1. After using Google with
various parameters I could not find the songs listed in
Folio No. 1. Among my searches was a link to a book
called "The Bill Monroe Reader" which is a compilation
of many articles by various authors.

One of the articles in the above reader states that
Folio No, 2 is a reprint of Folio No.1 with 9 songs
deleted. Can anyone with Folio No. 1 supply the titles
to these deleted songs?
Below are the 12 songs listed in folio No. 2 (and key).

Blue Moon Of Kentucky (G)
Footprints In The Snow (C)
I'm Goin' Back To Old Kentucky (F)
Kentucky Waltz (C)
Little Cabin Home On The Hill (G)
Mansions For Me (Eb)
Mother's Only Sleeping (F)
My Adobe Hacienda (verse Eb, chorus C)
Oh! Mo'nah (G)
Rocky Road Blues (C)
Tenbrooks And Molly (F)
Wicked Path Of Sin (Bb)

My Adobe Hacienda and Oh! Mo'nah don't seem to
be in the BM discography. Did he play these at the
Grand Ole Opry but not record them?

Tenbrooks And Molly is usually listed as Molly and Tenbrooks
subtitled "The Race-Horse Song". In the folio Monroe claims
authorship of words and music but Wikipedia says: a traditional
song of the late 19th century. One of the first recordings of the
song was the Carver Boys' 1929 version called "Tim Brook."

If you want the music look for Folio No. 1 but, if you collect
old and rare publications try to locate Folio No, 2.
The cover has a picture of BM and his horse King Wilkie.
