Ricky Scaggs tells this story: Mr. Bill Monroe loved to go to church. In his last years, he wasn't able to drive,

so a preacher friend would come and pick Mr. Bill up. The preacher said, "Mr. Bill was never late. He would be standing

at the gate waiting for me to pick him up." Paul Brewster heard this story at Mr. Monroe's memorial service and later

wrote this some.
