The Name

 

 

Harlan Mandolins

 

 

Harlan is in memory of my grandfather - Harlan Barnes -  who played the guitar, fiddle, and banjo - none of them exceedingly well, but he enjoyed them all just them same.  Since I played the violin, he gave his old fiddle to me when I was in high school.  That old fiddle was brought to Texas around 1873 when my Great, Great Grandfather moved here from North Carolina.
