- Monroe described ensemble performance as competition, and band members report that he sometimes worked against his musicians in live performance, for example by unexpectedly altering the opening mandolin cadenza of 'Muleskinner Blues'.

All the way through, bluegrass is competition with each man trying to do the best he can, be on his toes. . . They’ll still be friends, but they’ll work hard to be better than the other
