I see where there have been a number of requests on the Cafe for mandolin literature. Most are asking for building or playing instruction. Here is something from American Literature dated 1899.

Re: Mandolin Literature
Are there any stories in which the mandolin player gets the girl?
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."
Lomax, Alan, The Land where The Blues Began, NY: Pantheon, 1993, p.14.

Just sayin', if I were that society girl, *I'd* be paying more attention to the mandolin players
