Harmony H35 Mandolin Chicago

[Jeff Mando]

......But BOJ was a poor sharecropper's son, and when he signed that contract with Bluebird Records, he took the advance and bought a Gibson. And a fifth of Jack Daniels. The rest is history...

And a month later, the rent was due and he pawned the Gibson!

I interviewed a bunch of old obscure blues musicians and asked them about the instruments on their records covers and all had the same story -- oh, that, don't know, bought it with my advance, must have pawned it.....

Most of 'em still playing in the 80's were playing Peavey's!
