Mandolin Man: The Bluegrass Life of Roland White (Music in American Life)

While other work on Bill Monroe has been written from a historical point of view, Come Hither to Go Yonder is told from the perspective of a musician who was actually there. Filled with observations made from the unique vantage point of a man who has traveled and performed extensively with the master, this book is Bob Black's personal memoir about the profound influence that Monroe exerted on the musicians who have carried on the bluegrass tradition in the wake of his 1996 death. This volume also includes a complete listing of Bob Black's appearances with Monroe, his most memorable experiences while they worked together, brief descriptions of the more important musicians and bands mentioned, and suggestions for further reading and listening. Offering a rare perspective on the creative forces that drove one of America's greatest composers and musical innovators, Come Hither to Go Yonder will deeply reward any fans of Bill Monroe, of bluegrass, or of American vernacular music.

Roland White’s long career has taken him from membership in Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys and Lester Flatt’s Nashville Grass to success with his own Roland White Band. A master of the mandolin and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, White has mentored a host of bluegrass musicians and inspired countless others.\nBob Black draws on extensive interviews with White and his peers and friends to provide the first in-depth biography of the pioneering bluegrass figure. Born into a musical family, White found early success with the Kentucky Colonels during the 1960s folk revival. The many stops and collaborations that marked White's subsequent musical journey trace the history of modern bluegrass. But Black also delves into the seldom-told tale of White's life as a working musician, one who endured professional and music industry ups-and-downs to become a legendary artist and beloved teacher. 
An entertaining merger of memories and music history, Mandolin Man tells the overdue story of a bluegrass icon and his times.

You could also call it the do-it-yourself subculture. It consists of the perhaps 20,000 self-publisher's of micro-circulation "zines" and other self-produced art, music, pamphlets, and posters. Bob whack has been a major figure in this subculture since the late 1970s. His previous books, The Abolition of Work and Other Essays (1986) and Friendly Fire (1981), collect some of his contributions to the milieu. In this book, he illuminates the zine milieu itself. Contents: Beneath the Underground; The Sphinctre Of Anarchism; Pullers Of Wool: The Church Of The SubGenius; Left Bankruptcy; Looking Back On Leaving The Twentieth Century; Marginals Demigods; Culture Wars; The Panic Catalog; And Now For Some Things Completely Different; and, Taking Culture With A Grain Assault.
