Yessir. Skip can come with it. He's also a great fiddler and practitioner of cowboy songs. Skip has that thing in his hands that Monroe had, which was that he can sound like a million bucks no matter what kind of mandolin he's got in his hands. I suppose that Skip's recording is a combination of the two tunes. I forget now without having it in front of me, but I do have a copy of both tunes coming my way today. I'll put them on Youtube so there will be no more confusion along these lines. Tater
