While “Bluegrass” was named for Bill Monroe, he learned the craft from his Uncle Pendleton Vandiver, a crippled civil war vet fiddler. They lived together in a two-room log cabin after the death of Monroe’s parents, and he passed his music to Monroe, who in-turn bequeathed it on his passing. Some 52 years after Pendleton’s death, Ricky Skaggs’ cover of Monroe’s song memorializing “Uncle Pen” shot to #1 on the Country Music Charts. Monroe played the part of his uncle in the music video.
