here for The "Monroe Christmas" Interviews
In
1997 Jim Peva made available to me his collection of reel to reel tapes he had
made
over
the years, of Bluegrass around Bean Blossom. As I had done with over 1500
hours
of
live Bluegrass shows in the past, I proceeded to get these
reel to reel tapes to a digital
format
at the same time as I logged the contents of each tape. One recording
stood out
in
the collection as very special. This short section of tape was made one of
the times that Bill
Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys came to Jim Peva's house for a dinner. It
was after the
dinner on December 14, 1968 that Bill Monroe made this tape for Jim Peva.
We all can
be thankful for Jim Peva's foresight in having a recorder available and
recording the following
songs: 1)
Christmas Time's A-Comin 2)
A Beautiful Life 3)
Big Sandy River When
I decided to post this audio in the form of an mp3 file I contacted both Jim
Peva and Roland
White for the following three way phone call interview. This
short segment of tape cuts across the time to bring us to another Christmas
session in
1968 in Indiana. We have Jim Peva to thank both for making the
recordings and
for making them available for us to hear.
We are also be thankful to the
members of The
1968 Bluegrass Boys: Bill Monroe, Roland White,
Kenny Baker and Birch Monroe who
appear on this tape, for the musical gift to Jim Peva's family making this
recording. Jim Moss (12-11-05)
