Bill Monroe. The sign said this mandolin was busted into shreds of wood and Gibson repaired it to its original condition. And it held out for all the years that Mr. Monroe picked away. I know this instrument was in the news recently where there was no owner or the person who bought – wasn’t it Vince Gill? – donated it to the museum.
Ever feel a “connection” to something? or someone? I am lead to believe that there was a relationship between this instrument and Mr. Monroe. They took care of each other. Now it sits here, in its final resting place, next to Johnny Cash’s guitar.
