Bill Monroe - With Body and Soul

Bill Monroe

Love this rendition.

A few months after I first saw it on YouTube (more than three years ago, I think), it got yanked. Glad to see it's back on.

And that's Kenny Baker on fiddle (with the cowboy hat). Dunno who the other fiddler is. Kinda neat to see them playing and pancaking their left hands under the neck.

P.S. This song is on "The Music of Bill Monroe: From 1936 to 1994" CD set.
 
Naw. Can't be Bobby Hicks. As the dates that Baker and Hicks were part of the Blue Grass Boys don't mesh (because Hicks stopped being a BGB by 1959 (Source)). And the video is from a Grand Ole Opry show in color, so probably late 1960s, if not early 1970s. I'm guessing maybe Richard Greene (since I don't know what he looked like as a young man).

Here is another offering showing Bobby Hicks (looks like a teenager) with Gordon Terry and Red Taylor as the other fiddlers ...

Not quite as vintage, but this is what I look for in my bluegrass. :thumbup

I had the great pleasure of seeing and meeting Sonny in Grass Vally some years ago. :rad
