Bill Monroe

I'm a farmer with a mandolin and a high tenor voice.

I was determined to carve out a music of my own. I didn't want to copy anybody.

Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.

What makes knowledge automatic is what gets you to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
