- Michael StipeI stepped back from being out front to playing bass. So we started switching: I`d play bass on one song, we`d switch on the next song; I`d play piano... we`d play mandolin.
- Al WoodsThe sound of the mandolin is a very curious sound because it`s cheerful and melancholy at the same time, and I think it comes from that shadow string, the double strings.
