fiddle-lead-and-fills
Assertion
In Monroe's 'Muleskinner Blues', the fiddle took the opening solo and the lead role passed between Monroe's voice and the fiddle (Kenny Baker on a 1971 recording); fiddlers also filled gaps with improvised figures, as when Benny Williams 'leaps in early to fill up the silence with high G wails'.
