Bill Monroe was the wellspring

He inspired a note for note conversion to the fiddle by Kenny Baker

Who in turn inspired a note for note conversion to banjo by Noam Pikelny

But none of those songs erased the original, or any of the other covers. Which allows Mr. Cleveland to close the circle with his group "Flamekeeper"

Because it is such a great version, but I was chasing that narrative TBH

I didn't know how to work Tony into the whole "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" vibe I was trying to get to

But damn man - Thanks for the add, makes the thread better
