Fred Bartenstein leads us through six rooms of a virtual bluegrass museum on this rebroadcast of Banks of the Ohio. Some questions from this week’s show: Could the Stanley Brothers have had a bigger hit by singing “Just Because” in Slovenian? Why didn’t they have performance videos when the Smoky Mountain Boys recorded “Living on the Mountain” in their underwear? Was Scotty Stoneman’s song about a bar fight based on true-life experience? Were Stuart Duncan and Dirk Powell picturing Renee Zellweger when they played “Ruby With the Eyes That Sparkle?” A production of the International Bluegrass Music Museum.
