Slide mandolin in Quebec City
We had a recent discussion of slide mandolin on the Forum. I just came across this footage of an unexpected slide at a Quebecois session (23:25 to 27:00).

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."

Hope he didn't spill/waste any on the mandolin!

Yeah. I now know why so many people feel the need of a beater mandolin.
