Re: Fwd: Bill Bessie Lee movie announced
The music will be managed by TBone, the script by his girlfriend, Callie(writer of Thelma and Louise). If the movie is only about Monroe and Bessie Lee Mauldin, then it is certainly not covering but a small slice of Bill's life/career. I don't look for it to be for anything other than entertainment purposes. I have heard that there's a few fiddlers that have cut tracks so far, but no mandolineers. Sure, I'm sure there's a veritable plethora of players hovering around. Same as it was when Bill was a'living. Nobody's saying anything. Seems like this may be the same project that Ronnie McCoury has been mentioning for a few years now, only now TBone's involved. But then, I ain't got a clue.

Perhaps, the best, that is most politic, way would be to use archive recording materials, but that don't seem the T-Bone way... Strangely, i'd like it if they composed new incidental-athmosphere musics in some of Monroe's voicings, i thinking more of the blues/ gospel flavour than the to be expected hard-kicking bluegrass numbers.

I don't know what time period this movie will cover but I can't imagine anyone but Gene Hackman in the role of Bill Monroe in his later days. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: Bill Bessie Lee movie announced
Much as I believe our Tater is the man for the job, I'd like to hear that several mandoliners are involved... hear different takes on the way to make a performance reflect the events and emotions of his (love) life. I think it would be fascinating. But I guess so would an interpretation by one person. So who should play 'letter from my darling?' 2010/8/28, Pat Murphree phreem...@comcast.net: I don't know what time period this movie will cover but I can't imagine anyone but Gene Hackman in the role of Bill Monroe in his later days. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.
