Attention mandolin fans!!! Tut Taylor Archive Reel #038 Side A is a wonderful recording featuring the Father of Bluegrass,
Bill Monroe, picking instrumentals one very early morning circa 1965-1966 with Tut and several unknown others. I suspect
that this was recorded in a hotel room by Tut during a DJ Convention in Nashville, TN. Monroe never does get the hang of
Tut's mysterious piece, 'Ghost Picker'! Side B of the reel is a Dixie Gentlemen (Herschel Sizemore-mandolin, Rual
Yarbrough-banjo, & Jake Landers-guitar) with Tut (Dobro) rehearsal recorded circa 1965-1965, prior to recording their 'Blues
and Bluegrass' LP in 1966; they run through several tunes found on this release.
