"The mandolin made its appearance in our family circle after we had heard a girl play one at a Sunday school entertainment," said Mrs. Longo. "Mr. Longo and I decided that one of our daughters should have a mandolin. Our next acquisition was a banjo to accompany the mandolin. I remember we met with quite a bit of family opposition at the time. One of Bunny's uncles remonstrated (that the banjo was) 'certainly nothing for a little girl.' But Bunny was as captivated by the instrument as we were."
