Just to get the ball rolling (as suggested in the Lloyd Loar Pics thread) here are some images from my Dave Apollon archives, including a very early photo of Dave with a Lyon & Healy Style B mandolin, autographed to "Woodrow" (Woody Herman).
Bill Monroe was also an admirer of Dave's and when I asked Jethro Burns who he thought was the greatest mandolin player, he said without hesitation, "Dave Apollon". Apollon was without peer and his music still moves me in a way that no other player has. Enjoy!
