Heirs of Monroe Tune Of The Week 2010:
John Bird has launched a new TOW version in 2010, focusing on the playing of bluegrass mandolin players who are the Heirs of Bill Monroe's style.
Tune of the Week (TOW) was started in April 1999 as a way of choosing tunes to learn on the mandolin & discussing how to play them with other members of CoMando ListServe. TOW continued from 1999 until 2004, reviving once again, by John Bird, in 2007 & 2008, continuing in 2009 with a focus on Tunes of Bill Monroe.
