I always wonder about mandolin in an old-time setting.  Its not a
fiddle.  Seems like the Tater managed a good run through to suit a
mandolin - banjo duo. Mighty fast pickin too.  How many ideas are
there out there ...for mando and guitar or mando and fiddle duo, mando
and banjo duo, playing old time, how many possibilities or approaches
have folks seen or thought of?  In groups here, doing old time tunes,
mandolins are mainly wanted for chops, they can really help the rhythm
but it can be boring.  I keep looking for ideas for mando to play part
tune and part chords...have found a few.

That is where Mr. Monroe comes in as I think he worked those ideas out
pretty good.  Looking and listening it seems to me he played double
stops now and then, simplifying the melody, but went heavy and perhaps
funky with right hand to boost, accent the rhythm side. That seems to
be where he did his 'talking'.

Solo ...well then one can show off the picking technique, also one can
display great technique getting all the notes in with mando and guitar
duo, me thinks.

I would like to know more about Mrs. Haley's technique.
It is a great tune hey?
