Re: Original Orville Gibson mandolin video.
Very cool to see the original article. Just goes to show we can never know what will ultimately become of our efforts.
Without this quirky instrument would there have been an F5? Without the F5 would there have been Bluegrass? Without Bluegrass (and especially Bill on the F5) would there have been Rock & Roll? With major changes to these things I would think our culture would be quite different today. It's kind of fun to imagine a counterfactual.
