    That begs the question, what is the oldest surviving mandolin recording?

    Don't ask me why, but I found that story absolutely fascinating.

    Just the other day a friend and I were discussing how a lot of great old music (we were discussing country music, but it is true of any genre) is almost imperceivably slipping away, every day, with the slow passing of each generation. For my 2-cents, I think it is great that this historic slice of music history has been found, and is being preserved.

    Bravo.

    If it were not on that podcast but on Mandolin Cafe, then I could see explaining the shape of a cylinder - tongue in cheek.
