    A list of famous people assoicated with the mandolin must include Milla Jovovich.

    Did you remember Joey Bishop? ( member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack and variety show host back in the 1960's ) He used to occasionally perform on a cherry red Gibson A-5 - the one with the two point cutaway. He played strictly in an Italian style.

    Tom Hanks was in the music store where I teach a few years ago and said he had ordered a Gilchrist. I haven't run into him again in a long time to ask if he ever recieved it. I know he took some mandolin lessons at some point.
