Great job, anahootz. Good information there. I know I'm being overly pedantic but the only thing I'd change is to say that Kentucky is the Blue Grass State, not the Bluegrass state and Bill's band was known as the Blue Grass Boys, not the Bluegrass boys. The term bluegrass as a name for the genre wasn't started by Monroe. Bill originally thought of himself and his band as playing his own brand of commercial country music designed to appeal to the musician as well as to the general country music audience.
