Joe Gelsi Germany 1945
Here's my dad jamming in Germany with a mandolin he found during his time there in World War II. Dad and mom always supported my music and paid for piano, guitar and mandolin lessons over the years. My dad played mandolin all his life, including a trio with some other guys his age in Dobbs Ferry, and the NY Mandolin Orchestra. He also studied at the famed Mandolin School in Rhode Island and rubbed shoulders with mandolin great
David Grissom. Thanks Dad!

Footnote above -- My dad would play village events like the 4th of July Waterfront Picnic with Jack Mace on bass and Frank LoPinto on guitar. I think I sat in with them a couple of times.
