Not any of these but 1,500 other adepts of fretted instruments gathered last week in Minneapolis for the 35th annual convention of the American Guild of Banjoists, Mandolinists & Guitarists. Convention manager and official host was Chester William Gould, 36, a big, loud-voiced banjoist, organizer of the 50-piece Gould Mandolin Orchestra, which this week was to perform a Mexican Fantasia in costume, and of the champion Go-piece Gould Banjo...
