Jimmy Martin Re-Joins Bill Monroe
Another one of the great first generation Bluegrass performers checks out. For those of who love bluegrass music Martin was one of the giants.

Well, time marches on. Fortunately for us we have archival records of their wonderful music. We just can't thank them for it any more.

I too am saddened by his passing. Besides having fewer and fewer of the bluegrass legends around, it seems like as time passes there are less and less people who appreciate the old bluegrass and country music. I'm not sure I know anyone else my age who could even tell you who Bill Monroe was...

Here in Nashville we can still hear some great live bluegrass played somewhere just about every night.

I think Allison Krauss has done a wonderful job in trying to keep the light burning.

"Our darling wandered far away While she was out at play Lost in the woods she couldn't hear a sound She was our darling girl The sweetest thing in the world We searched for her but she couldn't be found I heard the screams of our little girl far away Hurry daddy there's an awful dreadful snake I ran as fast as I could though the dark and dreary woods But I reached our darling girl too late Oh, I began to sigh, I knew that soon she'd have to die For the snake was warning me close by I held her close to my face she said Daddy kill that snake It's getting dark tell Mommy goodbye I heard the screams of our little girl far away Hurry daddy there's an awful dreadful snake I ran as fast as I could though the dark and dreary woods But I reached our darling girl too late" G'night Jimmy, Godspeed...
