Bluegrass Mandolin
Skip has followed Monroe's traditional fiddle-style of mandolin playing for 38 years. As an old-time fiddle player, himself, Skip has captured the essence and beauty of Monroe's playing on the mandolin-having sat with the master on several occasions.
"Skip Gorman remains best known in bluegrass circles as perhaps the finest exponent today of the style of mandolin Bill Monroe played with the Monroe Brothers."
