13. Tie-breaker. Not “exactly” a bluegrasser, but important in the bluegrass story. Middle-named for someone who became famous. “Pendleton”. Charles Pendleton Monroe (middle-named for Uncle Pendleton “Pen” Vandiver)
Additional Bowden Comments
That was a hard one, yes. Glad we had a winner. Well done. “Lynn” of Randy Lynn Scruggs was sort of a trick question! Dale Ann Bradley was a gimme. Delano is actually Del’s middle name; his first name is officially Floyd. JD Crowe is one of neat pieces of trivia, I think. And 13 the tie breaker is Bill Monroe’s brother and first duet partner, Charlie Monroe, middle named for fiddlin’ Uncle Pen (Pendleton) Vandiver.
Drawing a complete blank on 1-12. For 13, the only Pendleton I can think of is Bill Monroe’s “ Uncle Pen” Vandiver, but that was his first name.
Since that’s the tiebreaker, if no one else can get a single one of the first twelve, maybe I’ll have a shot.
Tough quiz, Dick!
