Hey Vince, Bluegrbutt was dead...Even here in WV...I hadnt even heard of Butch Robins who played for Monroe 77-81....I could name several other of Monroe's past banjo players as well as many other bands past players but none current at that time.I went to a fest in MT. a few years ago and jammed with Pete W.It was fun playin arr. outta the book note for note...A few of Bill Keiths arr. were in there...I went to a BK workshop in Akron OH about 3 months ago...He's always been one of my heros'....During the jam afterwards, I asked him if he would play "Sailors HP" with me...I told him I might be somewhat rusty on it since I learned from Petes book around 81-82 and hadnt played it much since (not a popular jam tune in these parts)...He said he hadnt either...LOL....Yeah , when I go to fests in KY ,VA,OH etc. its hard to believe the explosion of new BG acts playin the circuit just in the last 5 years..Not too many here in WV...We're more "oldtime"....Seems like yall have a pretty good BG community down S...I have a freind who pbutted away last year from Vicksburg who use to set up jams and venues for me to play at when I would come down...Run into a couple tenor players playin fiddle tunes with a flatpick down there cross the river in Delta LA....(That was a first for me...LOL)..They played every note I did a BB blossom, Whiskey for B'fast etc...I hope to make down this summer sometime. take care, John in WV.
