Re: Mandolin on this British Sitcom?
It's unclear whether Toby is actually playing. The cameras really avoid showing his hands on the strings. I'll have to try the show if I can get it.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
