Did Haze ever refer to his shop as "Bassett Instrument Repair". Reason being I've came across a 1938 000-18 that was worked on a little. It had a paper sticker glued inside the sound hole center brace. My dad knew him well.Freddy Rakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563111763108838203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402271756236610252.post-71317082377487132682022-01-03T19:19:27.164-05:002022-01-03T19:19:27.164-05:00I remember this very well, did so enjoy the music ...I remember this very well, did so enjoy the music as this was a first for hearing such super talent.

I bought it for circa $550. in circa 1962 from Harry West in NYC. He told me it was Rudy's, and also Bill Emerson had owned it before me.Bill Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332493651250857847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402271756236610252.post-16093724428006148792021-07-31T14:19:19.637-04:002021-07-31T14:19:19.637-04:00That's quite a story, Doug!That's quite a story, Doug!Joe Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056285654304428750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402271756236610252.post-17598648150279251732020-12-03T20:25:37.529-05:002020-12-03T20:25:37.529-05:00So sorry I'm just seeing this.

I knew him well when I was growing up. I lived over in Patrick County and went to school in Kentucky and one weekend when I came home and called over to Haze's house to see if I could go over and visit. I talked to one of his daughters who said it would be fine for me to come over, but she doubted that he would remember me...as he had problems remembering many things. I didn't go, but sure wish I had. <br />Doug Hutchenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939143911766575832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402271756236610252.post-21566631034093145232020-07-19T00:20:58.614-04:002020-07-19T00:20:58.614-04:00Who received print# 683?

I was one of many in the crowded little church at Rosine, and remember Bill being viewed by so many friends and fans; many placed quarters around the lining of his coffin, just as he had given quarters to so many kids who admired him through the years. It was a moving service there and by the graveside, and despite our sorrow, everyone there shared the thought that we were glad we "lived in the time of Bill Monroe." <br />Thomas A.
