We are in the centennial anniversary of WWI and hardly a week goes by that doesn't memorialize some gruesome event. Wonderful to think for a moment about the mandolin as a kind of shelter from the storm.
I think it would be great if someone with the skills put together a picture book: Mandolins at War. I don't know if there is enough material.
Ever tried, ever failed? No matter. Try again, fail again. Fail better.--Samuel Beckett
