I always recommend Blues Mandolin Man: The Life and Times of Yank Rachell by Richard Congress.

Allan, you could try this classic Newfoundland folksong, "Now, I'm 64", though it's rather sad. I sang both 64 songs on my 64th birthday.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
