   Wilene "Sally Ann" Forrester was a member of Monroe's band during the   
   war year, from approximately 1943 - 45. She performed on the Feb. 13,   
   '45 Chicago recording session; six songs were released: Rocky Road   
   Blues, Kentucky Waltz, True Life Blues, Goodbye Old Pal, Footprints in   
   the Snow and Bluegrass Special. Come Back To Me In My Dreams and I'll   
   Have A New Life were also recorded, but were not released at the time.   
      
   Both Scruggs and Flatt joined the band in mid-1945, after Wilene left   
   the band.
