Happy Birthday, Bill!

I haven't managed it yet, but someday Bill Monroe's Birthday will be a national holiday!
On this day in 1911, Mr. Bill dropped in.

I was looking for stuff about his birthday and came across this from the page of Winnie Winston. He's a great banjo player who I'm familiar with from David Grisman's "Early Dawg" cd.

I guess this is probably Bill's "one thing" - that 1 thing that if you had to choose, would represent them in the encyclopedia that you sent to space to explain the world to aliens.
