- monroe-rarely-rehearsed
- Assertion
- Bill Monroe very rarely rehearsed his Blue Grass Boys, and at least 149 musicians passed through the band over his 57-year career; Del McCoury recalled his first performance with Monroe involved no run-through.
- Quote
A second condition is the equally infamous (and more astonishing) fact that Monroe very rarely rehearsed his musicians. Concerning his first performance with Bill Monroe, Blue Grass Boy Del McCoury recounts, “We got backstage, and all we did was tune up and walk out. Didn’t run through nothing!”
