Toyoda-Otsuka Cassette Tape #032 features a portion of famed bluegrass promoter Carlton Haney’s “Bluegrass Story“ from the genre’s VERY first bluegrass festival, held at Cantrell’s Horse Farm in Fincastle, VA, in early-September 1965. Haney tells the story of the development of bluegrass music by featuring Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass”, along with a host of marvelous special guests including Larry Richardson, Jimmy Martin, Carter & Ralph Stanley, and others. “Historic” barely captures it. Note: this recording continues on Cassette Tape #033.
