Bill Monroe's favorite harmonica player was DeFord Bailey, who traveled with
Bill's show in the baseball days. DeFord Bailey could play the music well
enough, but he performed solo on these tours because he was a solo act on
the Grand Ole' Opry.

Not only that, but at first, Bailey was the star, the man on the bill to draw people
in to hear Bill Monroe's music.
