3 Mandolins painted by Rosemary Bond Gerhardy
– presented at the 2006 Frances Folk Gathering (SA/VIC border) and now owned by former Frances Publican, Nigel Blake.

From Hamish Davidson: “Andrew is an extremely creative individual, and is always spontaneous, especially in live performances. His shows feature anything from traditional Indian ‘standards,’ or ragas, to hard driving ‘thrash-grass.’ On his latest album, “Dance of the Good Life” (2000), he recorded a tune titled Three Mandolins, where he plays in 3 time signatures at once. This is the type of thing you can imagine Thelonious Monk doing. Nevertheless, the result (in stereo!) creates a sensation of being inside a washing machine. This effect was very hard to recreate in MIDI, partly because there is no ‘mandolin’ tone available. To make the MIDI file more interesting, I have added a bass line which is not included on the recording. If you want to experience this trippy sensation first hand, you’ll just have to buy the album.”
