David Davis interview online
Bluegrass mandolinist, singer and band leader David Davis was the subject of an interview this past weekend in the Seattle Times.

Among other topics, they discussed the Davis family’s bluegrass pedigree.
His dad’s older brother Cleo led the way in the profession. He answered an ad in a newspaper in 1938 and became the first member of Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys.
Davis first met Monroe in 1974. “I was going into the sixth grade. It was like Mount Rushmore. I had always heard about him. It was really awesome.”
