50th Annual Bill Monroe’s Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival June 11-18 [VIDEO]

In 1967, Ohio County native and the Father of Bluegrass Bill Monroe founded himself a music festival in Bean Blossom, Indiana. 50 years later, it's still going strong as it is the world's longest-running annual Bluegrass festival. This year's Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival begins this Saturday (6/11) and wraps up next Saturday the 18th.

As I was doing research about the festival, I came upon this really neat video of Monroe jamming with fans at the festival in 1990, "Blue Moon of Kentucky".
