Episode: 1766 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who hated Sherlock Holmes. Today, our guest, Bill Monroe, from the UH Honors College, tells us about doctors and detectives.
Over the last 5 years, we have had the privilege of bringing you stories of Pioneering musicians such as Bill Monroe, Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Lead Belly, Dolly Parton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Pete Seeger, Jean Ritchie and so many more.However, a recently shift was forced upon the American Songcatcher program. Our distributor, Spotify for Podcasters/Creators, has taken down 1/4 of our episodes on all platforms, with more likely to follow, as they have began to crack down on the rights and usage of songs. Although this program is strictly education-based, and we don't sell products or produce any notable revenue from these episodes, they don't see what we do as fair use. It's a big blow, as over a year's worth of our work is now gone from the convenient places to listen to them.And so, our standstill for the last 5 months has been one of great pondering, and a lot of work with our nonprofit ReString Appalachia, where we have just surpassed 700 instruments given to those who had them taken away from natural disasters. It's been decided that from now on, American Songcatcher will strictly focus on traditional song history, field recordings, and interviews. We embrace our new direction, and we hope you will too. All of the episodes will be available on our website, AmericanSongcatcher.com in the next month. We'll be back with some new content soon, thank you for your patience, see you next time on American Songcatcher.__Support Educational Programming:Tax-Exempt DonationsJoin the Patreon CommunityOne-time donations: Venmo or PayPalFollow American Songcatcher on Instagram Credits: Nicholas Edward Williams - Production, editing, recording and distribution
Cor Sanne is de man die countrymuziek de credits en het podium al gaf toen de makers van Countrykoorts nog met hun oude heer over de sloot sprongen. Hij haalde ze allemaal naar Nederland: Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Bill Monroe, Emmylou Harris, Jerry Lee Lewis en vele anderen. Een podcast over ontbijten met Cash, zingen met Harris en gedoe met Buck Owens. Maar ook zijn onvoorwaardelijke liefde voor The Everly Brothers. Hij vernoemde zijn zoon zelfs naar één van de broers. Uiteraard blikt Sanne ook terug op zijn eigen muzikale carrière. Met Dick van Altena, Savannah en de Bluegrass Boogiemen. Hoe al deze verhalen in ruim een uur zijn gevangen? Dat is voor de makers ook een raadsel. Luister en geniet van een bescheiden boerenlul uit Nieuwkoop, die het allemaal toch maar mooi heeft meegemaakt.
Tonight Will and Rob come to the show intent on discussing their favorite things, but spend more time talking about Bill Monroe, Billy Cunningham and Rob’s college intramural football game. Plus Will offers a poignant and heartfelt prayer. Also there is exceptionally good music.

The 19th century Swedish philosopher and poet Henri Frederic Amiel wrote one of the most eloquent observations about music, saying “Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.” If Amiel is right, and I have a feeling he is, then pairing Andrea Zonn and John Cowan in a setting where they can sing some of their favorite songs both old and new, is bound to take you at least a good part of the way to heaven. With their debut collaboration, the album Andrea Zonn & John Cowan Are The HercuLeons, the Nashville legends make the harmony part sound effortless, and with a cast of all stars behind them, have set their sights skyward. John Cowan and Andrea Zonn already had a harmonious relationship and had worked together in the decades leading up to now, but it was a quirk of having some more studio time together during the pandemic that set the stage for their first full length collaboration as band leaders. Here, Andrea and John detail that story behind their collaboration, as well as stories of their heroes like Leon Russell and Bill Monroe, and contemporaries like Tom Britt, their perspective on their own musical legacies, tales of their time in the shangri-la of western North Carolina's musical past, Green Acres Music Hall, and more, including music excerpts of songs from their new album.

It's not easy to catch lightning in a bottle, but Dr. Bill Monroe did it and spent the rest of his career trying to repeat it in numerous forms.Before leading one of the most respected honors colleges in the country at the University of Houston, Dr. Monroe did something even rarer—he created intellectual electricity at McMurry College. Over lunch, tennis courts and pickup basketball games, he helped build a space where young minds spoke boldly, thought deeply, and disagreed with respect. It wasn't a syllabus—it was a spark.That spark lit the fire in countless students, including silver-tongued storyteller Mark Williams, who we met in Episode 26. In this episode, we find out from Dr. Monroe what it takes to assemble a group of people who push, listen, take down and lift up their colleagues, plus the Great Unfamous figures who shaped him. It's a conversation about legacy without trophies, just changed lives -- lots of tactical guidance here.

He was heavily influenced by rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Widespread Panic, Phish, Grateful Dead, Def Leppard, Between the Buried and Me, and Black Sabbath. During his teenage years, he played in hard rock and indie rock bands, showcasing his versatility.Transformation and Stage Name: After a turbulent period, Billy embraced a lifestyle known as "California Sober," abstaining from alcohol and only using light drugs.

Last week we lost Happy Traum, one of the shining lights of acoustic music for over half a century.It's hard to fully grasp, in our online world where everything is right there whenever we need it, just what an enormous contribution Happy and the Homespun team made to helping people learn roots and acoustic music.I was lucky enough to get to chat to Happy a couple of times for the podcast, and he spoke about how strongly he felt that their role was to document, as well as teach. Watching the videos they put out with Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Norman Blake and Bill Monroe (and many more) it's hard to think of a bigger contribution to documenting an era of music!To celebrate Happy's extraordinary influence, which will continue for many years through Homespun's legacy, I'm re-posting the chat I had with him for the podcast back in June of 2022. Countless people learned to play an instrument thanks to the books, tapes, videos, CDs, DVDs and downloads Homespun put out, with some of the leading names in roots music, including Tony Rice, Norman Blake, Bill Monroe, John Hartford, Sam Bush and many, many more.Happy shares the story of how Homespun was born, around a kitchen table, as well as memories of working with some of those iconic musicians, many of whom became friends along the way.Happy will be dearly missed by those who knew him, as well as by people like me, who didn't, but whose lives were enriched by his work.Thank you Happy!MattVisit Homespun's website to check out their extraordinary catalogue Send a message to Bluegrass Jam Along!

I'm super pumped to speak with Anders Beck for Episode 226!! Anders is the dobro player for Greensky Bluegrass, whose unique blend of Bluegrass and Rock and makes it one of the most compelling sounds in live music today. Greensky has been touring practically non-stop for over 20 years, and Anders stopped in to chat with me just after completing their Winter Tour with yet another sold out two-night run at the Ryman Auditorium. Anders has a fun-loving and super chill vibe, and he is filled with gratitude for his place in life. “Music means live music,” Anders explained to me, and his appreciation for doing exactly what he set out to do; that is, play live music in a successful touring band, is utterly inspiring and heart-warming. Anders embodies what music is all about, and I'm here for it. Join both of us for this week's episode!!

This week, Kentucky Music Hall of Fame member and six time International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year, Dale Ann Bradley, recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. “Dale Ann Bradley is a Kentucky native who is proud of her state. Her music reflects that love as she often sings of the state's multiple charms including sparkling streams, rolling hills and mountains, lush hillsides filled with native plants and beautiful landscapes. She also includes songs about coal mines (her father was a miner) and another business, that of moonshine stills. Thanks to a great-uncle who noted Dale Ann's interest in music, an 8-track player appeared at her home, along with tapes of some of her favorite singers. When she was 14, she was given her first guitar. ‘It was a little plywood, small body guitar, but it had six strings, and I made a pick from a milk jug. I drove everybody crazy learning to play it.' The singer learned to play her guitar and soon was singing the songs she heard on the radio and off the 8-track player. When she was a junior in high school, the new band director at school and his wife, known as Back Porch Grass, sang in the summer at Pine Mountain Stage Park in Pineville. Acknowledging her talent, they asked Dale Ann to join them, which gave her the opportunity to learn to entertain an audience. Attending one of her concerts is almost like having a friend in your living room, as she chats back and forth with the audience and doesn't hesitate to share jokes on herself as well as the rest of her band. In 2018, Dale Ann was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, joining many people she looked up to including Bill Monroe, Keith Whitley, Sonny Osborne, and Sam Bush. The singer is a six-time winner of IBMA's Female Vocalist of the Year and took home the Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year in 2021 for ‘After While.' She has been named Female Vocalist of the year by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America three times.” -https://www.daleannbradley.com/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1981 archival recording of Texas swing legend Laura Lee McBride performing the classic Western song “I Bet Ya My Heart I Love Ya” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.
