Footnotes

"Chris Eccleshall made me an acoustic mandola and I used to play that with a pick-up. I've been thinking of using that again recently. I had the top string tuned to A for a while and then to B but then we used to do some numbers a bit deeper and it used to sound like a cross between a 12-string and a mandolin."
- Rory Gallagher, International Musician magazine, April 1977.
