Anonymous Collection 1 Cassette #115 contains three separate sets of recordings: 1) Several songs from Bill 

Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys with Jimmy Martin, possibly from the Bean Blossom Festival, Bean Blossom, IN, 1971 

(if the cassette label is correct), 2) a fiddle workshop/lesson, (possibly with student Hsueh-Cheng "Ryo" Liao 

of the Japanese group Bluegrass 45), also likely from Bean Blossom 1971, but unknown, and 3) a Country Gentlemen 

set from what appears to be the 1st Annual Country Gentlemen Bluegrass Festival, Webster, MA-1971.  The Gents 

at this time included Charlie Waller, Doyle Lawson, Bill Emerson, & Bill Yates.  Note that the end of Side A is 

marred by tape speed problems, making these songs rather unlistenable; Side B begins with "Foggy Mountain 

Breakdown" in good sound, making up for the poor fidelity of this tune at the end of Side A.
