Bill Monroe and Byron Berline's tune is a catchy one that you often hear at jams. It always reminds me of the area of Northern California where I live. The lure of gold brought many here, but few got rich. My tiny, once large, community just had its Pioneer Day, honoring the descendants of gold rush pioneers of the 1850's and later. The gold is mostly gone, but the old-time music lives on.
