Talk:Mandolins in North America

Deleted, restored

This article has been restored, after being deleted for apparent copyright violation. The issue was that in two different sites, material from the article was used verbatim, not doing a good job saying that it came from Wikipedia. The sites were: <https://web.archive.org/web/20170212015106/https://acousticmusic.org/research/guitar-information/guitars-stringed-instruments-general-information/> and <https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/114005-Who-was-the-first-American-mandolin-manufacturer/page3>. The acousticmusic site in particular, having blended the content into a larger article, appeared as original source material; however the mandolin content came from Wikipedia. The Mandolin Cafe conversation centered (at that point) on the content of the Wikipedia article, and quoted from it; it was clear once one read the conversation, but could have been made more clear when the post was made.Jacqke (talk) 13:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Jethro Burns' legacy

No one has more respect for Jethro than I do but I'm not sure he would agree to the description of him as the first important American jazz mandolinist when Dave Apollon had a career that spanned from the 1920s to the 1960s. Mr. Apollon's playing defies labels and description but his recording of Stardust and his association with Django Reinhart certainly makes him an important jazz mandolinist. 2600:100B:B1C4:C84F:0:2E:D053:4A01 (talk) 07:52, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
