The Monroe brothers actually went to work for Sinclair Oil in the refinery at Whiting Indiana a suburb of Chicago. To my knowledge they never worked for Standard Oil.

Yes that's right, Sinclair Oil was the company where Bill cleaned the oil cans.
Monroe did play on TV during the mid-50s, appearing on "The Country Show", which was an offshoot of the the Grand Old Opry. He didn't appear on many shows as far as I know, but the shows are rebroadcast on RFD=TV on Saturdays.

Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.
Thank you for this!!!
Many interesting facts are left behind, such as the everlasting conflicts with his bandmates. And why he mistrusted so many people who supported him. Based on his unhappy childhood - he never trusted anyone.

Yes, that is Clarence White, I don't know what year it is, my guess would be early 60's. One of the best FLATPICKERS.
Is that the same Arnold Schultz who helped pioneer Kentucky thumb-style?
