The 100th birthday of Bill Monroe, widely recognized as "the father of bluegrass music," is just around the corner on September 13, 2011. Bush will talk about what that milestone means to the bluegrass music community and industry—and how we might best celebrate a century of Monroe's influence in the world of music, among other things.
