Read through all quotes from Bill Monroe
After the Monroe Brothers disbanded in 1938 Bill Monroe formed The Kentuckians in Little Rock Arkansas but the group only lasted for three months. Several gospel-themed numbers are credited to the "Blue Grass Quartet" which featured four-part vocal arrangements accompanied solely by mandolin and guitar – Monroe's usual practice when performing "sacred" songs. Scruggs played the instrument with a distinctive three-finger picking style that immediately caused a sensation among Opry audiences.
He is often referred to as The Father of Bluegrass. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer instrumentalist composer and bandleader.
