Bill's Bluegrass
Paul's Saloon, San Francisco, CA 1991
I play a Flatiron A5 model circa 1983 signed
by Steve Carlson.
My main inspiration comes from the master of Blue Grass, Mr. Bill Monroe. John Fuller and Lou Martin were a couple
of mentors who helped me find my own way on the mandolin. Another influence was my Grand
Pa Knight, who lived for 90 years around Pelzer, SC where
he sang the old ballads such as "Preacher And The Bear" and "The Knoxville Girl".
