A Message of Thanks

     In the years since 2007, when The Music of Bill Monroe was published, I’ve received communications from many who’ve read it.  Some have provided corrections, clarifications, and additions. I thank them for their contributions to this update of the volume.

     I’m particularly indebted to Tom Ewing, author of Bill Monroe: The Life and Music of the Blue Grass Man (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2018), who read the lists of corrections and additions as I prepared them and made many useful suggestions.  Finally, I’m indebted to Thomas A. Adler for helping make this list into what I hope is a useful and accessible document.
