		<description><![CDATA[Bill Monroe is the King of Bluegrass, and the premier Bluegrass mandolinist.  No evidence exists to support claims that Monroe ever played fiddle.  His use of a Gibson Lloyd Loar starting in 1943 helped him popularize and develop Bluegrass music.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If  you drop the names of Bluegrass players and singers in a group of typical Bluegrass fans, it is going to set off an immediate debate over when, what festival, and which band line up cut a particular track or performed a piece live.  The reality is Bluegrass bands shift over time, and have since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rather small, eight stringed mandolin with its fairly  poor stage projection seems an unlikely source of  modern Bluegrass music. Yet this magical instrument has become one of the best markers of Bluegrass. While Bluegrass is largely an American form of music, it is also derived from Irish and Scottish music.  In the early portion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bluegrass is a celebration of challenging vocals and a wide variety of instruments. Perhaps the most important of those instruments is the mandolin. Few bluegrass musicians, and probably even fewer non professional players would tell you that Bill Monroe was not their inspiration to give the instrument a try. To some people, the small, eight-stringed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bill Monroe is best known for the golden age of his career, starting from the mid-1940&#8242;s, with the creation of the Original Bluegrass Band all the way till the 1950&#8242;s. But few people are aware of his struggles in the latter stage of his career. Despite all such obstacles, however, Monroe re-emerged in the 1960&#8242;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1938 was a year that closed a monumental chapter and opened a new one in the bluegrass scene. It was this year that the highly successful Monroe Bothers, composed of guitarist Charlie and mandolin-playing Bill Monroe, had broken up. It was also this year that Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys was born. Grand Ole [...]]]></description>

Adjectives such as impressive and powerful are also suitable since watching his live performance is an experience like no other.

		<description><![CDATA[For most bluegrass music lovers, Bill Monroe is the undisputed father or pioneer of the genre. Even the genre&#8217;s name owes itself to Monroe&#8217;s band, the Blue Grass Boys, and the fact that Monroe also hailed from Bluegrass, Kentucky. His career as a musician had spanned six decades.

		<description><![CDATA[As a fusion of mountain and country music, bluegrass had been around much longer before being given its name. But it was Bill Monroe which had almost singlehandedly defined the now key aspects of bluegrass music such as the inclusion of mandolin, the solos that displayed band membersâ€™ instrumental virtuosity, and the â€œhigh lonesomeâ€ sound that he was most famous for. It is for all these reasons that he completely deserves the title Father of Bluegrass.]]></description>
