Notes: Listed as "Bill MOnroe 10/13/63 Bean Blossom, Joe Val 6/23/71 Passim Coffee House"

Anonymous Collection Cassette #247 Side A features a portion of a 10/13/63 performance by

Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys (Del McCoury-guitar, Bill "Brad" Keith-banjo, Joe

Stuart-fiddle, & possibly Bessie Lee Maudlin-bass) at Monroe's Brown County Jamboree,

Bean Blossom, IN; another circulating tape of this performance contains a more complete

recording. Side B features a 6/23/71 performance from the wonderful Joe Val & The New

England Bluegrass Boys (Joe Val-mandolin, Herb Applin-guitar, Bob French-banjo, & Bob

Tidwell-bass), recorded at Club Passim, Cambridge, MA.  Val is clearly enamored with the

mandolin styling of Bill Monroe and the harmonies and songwriting talents of the Louvin

Brothers.--Mitchell Wittenberg
