Too Fascinating

My mandolin has just arrived. I haven't seen it yet, but it was cheap. In the meantime, feast your eyes (and ears) on the Providence RI mandolin orchestra. Check out the Press Photos for a view of a mando-bass and listen to the MP3 samples to experience the full horror.

Notice the strange man in dark glasses to the rear of the orchestra - he's obviously been photoshopped into the picture! It's like the Sgt Pepper cover.

Needless to say, my plans for the mando are on a somewhat lower scale. More plinky plink plink plink, if you know what I mean.
