Re: blues mandolin, St. John's, Newfoundland
"The folklorist and folklore scholar, Neil Rosenberg", above, should have read, "the folklorist and bluegrass scholar, Neil Rosenberg".
Looks like the video is linking now. The picture above shows Neil Rosenberg (l), Peter Narvaez (c), and a third musician (r) who I don't know.

Reason: additional info
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."
