On a Bluegrass cake, twin fiddles or twin mandolins is the ultimate icing. Byron Berline & Jerry Mills serve up a tasty duet on this one. Monroes Hornpipe was recorded by Bill Monroe in 1958 and while it had been part of Monroe's set list for quite a while, it did not appear on any of his recordings until "Bluegrass Instrumentals" in 1965. The musicians: Mason Williams – rhythm guitar Byron Berline – fiddle Rick Cunha – lead electric guitar Jerry Mills – mandolin John Hickman – 5-string Banjo Don Whaley – Bass Hal Blaine – Drums Recorded in the fall of 1984 at Ed Boutwell’s recording studio in Burmingham, Alabama.
