Re: [Harp-L] bluegrass harmonica CDs

Bill C. Malone's authoritative book "Country Music USA" mentions that Monore used both accordian and harmonica early on in his bands. He may not have redcorded with them, though.

    I want to compile an online discography of bluegrass CDs that feature harmonica. I know Bill Monroe used it in early lineups of his band, but are any of those recordings in print? Mike Stevens? Sara Cooke? Come in, please.

  Glenn,
  I believe I have everything Bill Monroe ever recorded in the studio, and I am not aware of any early tracks that use harmonica.  I excel at being wrong, however, so who knows?

  There is every possibility that there are Opry transcriptions that contain Monroe with harmonica.
