"Well, I don't know much about bands but I do know you can't make a living selling big trombones, no sir. Mandolin picks, perhaps..."
I really like Jimmy G's mandolin tone on this one . . . to me it sounds like a cross between and oval hole, and f-holes. Beautiful.
Terrific vid from back in the day, thanks!
The modulation into Jimmy singing the 2nd verse is crazy good. And I think he was on an F-5 built by the Massachusetts luthier Jack O'Brien at that time.
Nice hat too!

Love Vassar's backup on the vocals. A master class in how to do that.
