Re: Unknown mandolin player on the BART to Glen Park
If I'm out in public doing something, such as making music, that brings attention to myself, I don't expect privacy -- especially in the 21st century when nearly everyone carries an easy-to-use camera, and a great many post to the internet. I've found myself online in others' videos and photos. If I were in your place, I wouldn't worry about posting the video. If the mandolin man's hiding from anyone, he's going about it the wrong way. It's many years since I've been to an event where I was told "no recording" let alone "no photographs." (By the way, I've demonstrated my mandolin to curious children while travelling on the transit system.) Thanks for the picture, Rod.

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."
