I personally would like to see a DVD of the mandolin style of Mike
Compton versus Mike Compton explains Bill Monroe. I think Mr. Tater
has a style that is of course highly influenced by Bill Monroe, but
I'd like to see Tater explaining what he does and why and his approach
to playing not just Monroe tunes but anything. I would personally
love a dvd just covering the work with John Hartford or the Stomp
album. I'd buy it the day it came out.
