Sometimes, you just have to shut up and get out of the way. So, let
me move aside and share what the uploader has to say about this
extraordinary video:
“Five fiddlers – all Blue Grass Boys – play a
medley of "Fire on the Mountain” and “Old Joe Clark” at Bill Monroe’s
71st birthday
celebration, onstage at the Kentucky Fried Chicken Bluegrass Festival,
September, 1982. This videotape was preserved over the past three
decades by former Blue Grass Boy Doug Hutchens. The fiddlers are Gordon
Terry, Red Taylor, Tex Logan, Byron Berline, and Kenny Baker."
If
you know the history of those fiddlers and the man who brought them
together, enjoy marinating in it. If not, look them up on this long and
lovingly-maintained page all about Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys.
