Talk:Bill Monroe

message: The page had an external link:
Bluegrass by Richie Unterberger
(Spaces inserted between the brackets so you can see what the markup was, not the result.)  That didn't display right or link successfully, and I couldn't come up with a variation that didn't produce a 404, and I couldn't find what the original author could have had in mind by searching on that site for Unterberger or Bluegrass.  What's a Wikipedian to do??  Kbh3rd 03:18, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: It is said that Bill Monroe was the one who puts celebrity on the song "Orange Blossom Special" in 1942 (which is a great song), long before Cash's interpretation (1965). I am referring to this http://www.ncmarkers.com/Markers.aspx?ct=ddl&sp=search&k=Markers&sv=C-78%20-%20ERVIN%20T.%20ROUSE%201917-1981 I guess why it is not mentionned ?

This would be a good addition to the External Links section.

message: Since he recovered from his car accident, I don't think he should be described as "critically injured". "Severely" or "Seriously" injured would be better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.189.102 (talk) 03:51, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

message: While Bill Monroe may have been the first one to call the style of music that he played "Bluegrass", he was not the first person to play that style of music. The tradition style of music now called "Bluegrass" was played by generations of people through out that part of the country long before Bill Monroe was ever born. This style has roots deep in Irish history long before the first white settlers ever reached the shores of America.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.119.56.9 (talk) 01:27, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I could not agree more.  As part of Youtube's Folk Revival Project, there is a film of Basocm Lamar Lunsford from 1928 where Mr. Lunsford and others play what is now known as bluegrass music.  There is also an article on BoingBoing that goes into some detail related to this film and the roots of bluegrass music. I'm not sure how to properly edit this article to clarify my comments, but it certainly needs changed, as well as any other articles affeced by this change.

thread_title:  Bill Monroe IS NOT the creator of "Bluegrass" music! 

message: Dear bluegrass enthusiasts:
I am trying to find out if there is any interest in forming a bluegrass wikiproject, or possibly a task force underthe "roots music" project.  If you would like to take part, please leave a message at User talk:Anne Delong/Bluegrass Topics, or if you would like to see what has been done so far, you can check out User:Anne Delong/Bluegrass Topics .  There are hundreds of articles which are linked to the 'bluegrass music' page, and some of them could use a little sprucing up.  —Anne Delong (talk) 03:54, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Conflicting birthdate on main page (background info lists his BD as being 1909, which would make him 86 years old when he died).  Will someone confirm & correct this?

message: I am mildly shocked we have no page for this song, but no problem. I have collected background info (it was written 1912) as well as the popularity the Monroe Brothers stirred up in the 1930s. Should make a decent page (not stub). If a Monroe fan wants to write about that release and covers, I would be fine doing the gospel roots and infobox sections, and sharing my additional research. If not, I will do all, I hate doing covers! Tillywilly17 (talk) 06:49, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
