A look back at an era of American Musical History when Mandolin Orchestras were "All The Rage," through the lens of my Great Grandfather's Mandolin Orchestra; "The Adams Plectrum Society", "The Gibsonians", or "The Gibson-ites." Joseph Ivers my Great Grandfather was a Mandolin Teacher and Gibson Mandolin Company Agent.
I was visiting my parents recently, and came across this cool old photo. The photo was probably taken by my mom in 1963, so I was maybe around 2 years old? Here's me on my favorite horse, rocking out to my dad playing the Gibson F4 !!!
