Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better. -

The Music Memorabilia Market with Price Guide
Musical The Music Memorabilia Market with Price Guide By George Johnson usic genres can encompass a whole swathe of tastes from Mclassical and country through to pop and rock, so it is little wonder that the associated memorabilia and collectables are also wide and varied, as are prices. Whether you are a fan of Mozart or Madonna there is always going to be something that will tempt the right collector. Here is an area of collectables where massive prices can be achieved for very inexpensively produced items by association or fact of previous ownership. Even just the ephemeral scribble of a signature can be worth a small fortune. A word of warning: as with all areas of the collectables market it is prudent to proceed with caution as fake items can be quite abundant, particularly in the area of signatures. Instruments The collectable market in instruments can be divided in to two distinct areas. The first is instruments by famous or highly regarded makers such as Antonio Fig 1. Pete Townshend’s 1972/73 Gibson Les Paul Stradivari or even Les Paul as well as other well known names. Just a few months Deluxe. Christie’s Images Ltd. 2011. ago a violin by Stradivari, Fig 2, was sold by The Tarisio Auction House to raise funds for the Japanese Tsunami. The instrument in question was called Lady Blunt as it was named after its nineteenth century owner, one Lady Anne Blunt who was an Arabian horse breeder and also happened to be Lord Byron’s grand- daughter. It had previously been sold in 1971 at Sotheby’s where it raised £84,000. -
