I'm so sorry to report that Bill Monroe died today. Details should be
forthcoming via the media later this afternoon. Please remember him
in your thoughts and prayers; this legendary man will be greatly
missed by those of us who loved him and his music.

I, too, was saddened to hear of Monroe's death.
With the "Father of Bluegrass" is gone, does that make us who love his music
Bluegrass Orphans?

Like millions of others, I mourn the passing of Bill Monroe. But, I also
celebrate the lush musical heritage he left behind. What a life he lived!
