In the mid 1930s, two brothers from Kentucky came to North Carolina to actively participate in the vibrant musical scene here. Calling themselves The Monroe Brothers, Bill and Charlie Monroe maintained a hectic schedule of performing nearly every night in venues that ranged from the proverbial one-room school houses to county fairs. To promote their shows, they performed on numerous radio stations including Asheville's WWNC, Charlotte's WBT and Raleigh's WPTF. They were so busy performing and burning up the rubber on their Hudson Terraplane to get to their show-dates that they dismissed the idea of recording for RCA Victor records because they didn't have time for it. They also didn't realize the impact that being on a major record label could have on their performing career. At last, RCA Victor's Eli Oberstein convinced them to record, which they did in a make-shift studio in 1936 in Charlotte, North Carolina. In a crowded warehouse rented by RCA records, the Monroe Brothers waxed ten sides, which included "Long Journey Home." On these first recordings, they established the style that would mark their entire recorded efforts on Victor's Blue Bird records: tight vocal harmonies often played at lightening speeds with spell-binding instrumental virtuosity. (From Birth of Bluegrass - Pastor Fred Martie)
