Bill C. Malone, Judith McCulloh, Stars of Country Music: Uncle Dave Macon to Johnny Rodriguez, University of Illinois Press, 1975
Page 49.
The Wikipedia article on Uncle Dave Macon cites the above book in support of the following statement:
"Although Macon toured with Bill Monroe in the late 1940s, he was neither impressed by the new bluegrass style nor by the banjo picking of Monroe's bandmate Earl Scruggs."
Now, what the hell is your problem? I didn't realize I was being graded on my posts like a damned college essay. I've read so many books about folk, country and old-time music that I've probably forgotten more than you've read.
Nice that a "GUEST" who doesn't even use a name, just some symbols, can come along and get so uppity.
