    Reason number 99 to play the mandolin.

    Well..... (shades of summer 1969)

    I've seen worse things happen to harps. Not that that's good, just that I've seen worse.

    I've known harpists who trolled used car lots hoping to find one of those huge station wagons from the 60's and 70's.

    At about 00:21, the guitarist looks a lot like Nora Guthrie (about 30 years ago).

    Ah, yes: the mandolin. Really can't tell for sure, but it could be a Weber Hyalite.

    Looks like a Weber to me. Great show.

    Was that Joanna Newsom on harp? I love her! If you don't have Ys yet run (don't walk) to your favorite music purchasing mechanism and obtain said recording ASAP.

    I believe someone may have ridden one of those over Niagara Falls sometime in the past. I can't swear to it, but who knows.

    That mandolin looked a bit like one of the Weber flat tops but the truss rod cover and headstock wood looked wrong. Of course it's partially obscured and visible very briefly.
