If my memory serves it was the Cafe's fearless leader who first posted the now-taboo photo of Milla, not that I am complaining. I think his first instincts were laudable!

Watching this on my dinky little laptop, I didn't notice that. But that would help explain (perhaps) why I didn't hear any clunkers or clams.

So it is posted elsewhere that Agatha Christie played mandolin:

And as was pointed out in another thread, somewhere, Mother Theresa played mandolin.
https://www.nytimes.com/books/first/s/sebba-teresa.htmlA local musician and relative taught her to play the mandolin and commented later that she was quick to learn and became a good player.

Maybe so, maybe not?
Al Capone played mandola.

Just pointed out to me - astronaut Stephen Robinson plays mandolin, as well as lap steel, stand up bass, and banjo.

Jack Crystal, Billy Crystal's father, played mandolin for an hour every Sunday, on his day off. Billy mentions this in his show, "700 Sundays." Jack Crystal was a jazz concert promoter and ran Commodore Records and the Commodore Records store. Jack Crystal brought to the Crystal home a lot of famous musicians. The show is about Billy Crystal's life growing up in Long Beach, New York. The show is very moving, especially for me, who was born in Long Beach and lived there until I was 8 years old.

thought this was a new thread,just saw it started May 2007
'Twas ever thus - the good tempered by the bad. He just couldn't have said, "Enough's enough;" he had to go and pick up the banjo.
This reminds me of the story from a couple of years ago, about Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who brought a guitar to the ISS, and shot a video of "Space Oddity" up there. He doesn't play it (in the video), just uses it as a prop, but it's cool anyway. He messes with the words too, a bit.

There is another astronaut plays mandolin - he hasn't been on a mission yet. I can't find the thread but the gist of it was naming new folk tunes after geological features of Mars. Something like that.

All facts are important, it's just the context that changes - Mr. Vincent Nigel-Murray
Guitar, brown with six strings.
Not really, it's a 1976 Alvarez, model 5059
Someone in here mentioned Judy Garland and a mandolin in a movie. The movie was "Meet Me in St Louie" Judy did not play the mandolin but one of the other actors did. It was a Washburn bowl back and a few years ago it showed up on ebay and backed by a certificate from Warner Bros. that it was the actual prop from the movie. If I remember correctly it sold for the whopping price of $200!
