- This Duane Busick recording of 1976 Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival begins with an interview of Bill Monroe by Pete Churton. Churton also talks to Bluegrass Boys band member Randy Davis along with a few of the campers who add flavor and character to Bean Blossom, the oldest, continuously running bluegrass festival in the world.
Thanks for the memories!! I was there with a friend that sent me the link to this video. Those were real good times
Whoever posted this video thank you, peice of history of the music and Indiana.
I lived in Chicago in 1976 and drove my VW along with my roomates to this festival, stayed three days and had one hell of a time...loved Bill Monroe.
Bill Monroe--the only individual in HUMAN HISTORY to single-handedly create a genre of music. Pretty amazing.
💜❤💜 CLASSIC MONROE. 💜❤💜
30,000 attendance...NOW BOY THATS POWERFUL..!!
Gorgeous piece of Indiana, social and music history. In under 10 minutes it sums up what the world was like for a lot of us 'coming of age'. I'd been to Bean Blossom with my newborn baby son since 1971; age 22. The guy going to Stanford at 5:50 is typical of the smart guys loving the easy bluegrass (I wonder what he's doing today?!). That's our square-back VW in the background there at 6:50. :-)
Just after I got in the gate, a group of people knocked down the fence on the side road and climbed in through the woods . I remember following some girls from IU around and the flat trailers used as stages.
Cool find - paradise!
The festival's still going strong in 2017. This video made me smile. This is home for me as well btw
You can hear The Osborne bros very well in the background... miss how it used to be
Was there in '79-nice to see this-and the Osborne Brothers in the background-great memories!
Soo coool!
I think this might have been my first Bean Blossom, although it might have been the next year.
lol - great footage of the 70's. How many of these guys (including the interviewer) are stoned to the eyeballs?? lol
@BanjoBoyMatteo I've got about two minutes of "My Sweet Blue Eyed Darling" & all of "I'll Never Shed Another Tear" along with Bill Introducing the band. This is actually footage from 1977. From 1976 I have about a minute and a half of "On and On". I also have quite a bit of footage of Lester Flatt on the Bean Blossom stage in 1977 with 16 year-old Marty Stuart playing guitar and mandoline with Lester.
Either 76 or 77 was my first Bean Blossom. I'd love to see any footage from those years.
I think we went every year, or almost every year between 76 or 77 and 81.
Gold
Think my Uncle Walt Martin played their a few times
So Im late to the party, but did you ever post any of the Flatt footage you mentioned? I was there in 1977 and would love to see it again...best part of my childhood:)
See everyone at beanbloom
The last part of the footage features a bit of "My Sweet Blue Eyed Darlin'"...fabulous!
Is there any chance you have more of the Blue Grass Boys show you'd be willing to share?
@RDA1427 lol....Yeah..I agree...He sounds stopped up
As an interviewer Pete Churton sounds a little like he is fighting constipation.
What is that on his shirt collar?
