I don't know if you know, Cumin, but Dounis was also a famous mandolinist in his day. Click here for a brief discussion. You can download a recording of Dounis himself here.

Here is the page leading to the Dounis material. I couldn't get to the PDF either; perhaps there is lilmit to the number of people abel to download at once.
