I met Monte through my dad (Bill Torbert Jr - mandolin player in photo). My dad played music with Monte from the early 1960s up to 2017. Always a nice friendly guy who loved music.

Debbie, so sorry to hear of Mr. Monteith's passing. I worked as his secretary at Metro. A good employer and memorable gentleman. May God bless you, keep you, and give you peace.
