Come Hither Go Yonder

“Come Hither to Go Yonder” is an instrumental written by Bill Monroe. He recorded it on 3 February 1981 at The Music Mill in Nashville, the first session for the MCA album Master of Bluegrass and Monroe’s first there after the studio he had used, Bradley’s Barn, burned down in 1980. Monroe played mandolin, with Wayne Lewis on guitar, Butch Robins on banjo, Kenny Baker on fiddle and Mark Hembree on bass; Walter Haynes produced. The album sleeve misprinted the title as “Go Hither to Go Yonder,” and the misprint has stayed with the track in some listings. The same February 1981 session also produced “Old Ebenezer Scrooge” and “Right, Right On.”
