Bill Monroe Photos

Betty photographed the legendary Bill Monroe, one of the founders of bluegrass music, a few years ago at the Wintergrass Festival in Tacoma, Washington. Thousands of people were at this performance, one of the last that Bill Monroe gave. Failing health forced him to retire from the music business and he died not long after that. Here are five photos selected from several rolls of film shot that special evening. All photos © Betty Sederquist
