Bill Monroe’s full name is William Smith Monroe....WSM
Those letters just happen to be the call letters for the Grand Old Opry Radio Station.....Station WSM........LOLOLOL
When Bill Monroe auditioned for a spot on the GOO, he was told after his performance that he had the job, and if he ever wanted to leave, he’d have to fire his self ‘cause they weren’t ever gonna do it.....LOLOLOLOLOL
People now don’t appreciate that music. I’m telling you, my old daddy would laugh his butt off if he could see me now. Most of what I listen to he would call “hillbilly music.” He was a Johnny Cash, George Jones, Charlie Pride and Elvis Presley guy. And Roy Buchanan, and Jimmy Dean, Hank Sr., Buck Owens, Porter Wagoner, Conway Twitty. I can still hear it now. Thanx daddy, I love them boys too, but I have a thing for mountain music now.
Ralph and Carter are in the CD player right now, but you have inspired me. “Muleskinner Blues” is going in next.
Good on ya bro.
