Mandolin Recital at the Blind School (1907)
The members of the faculty and students of the Tennessee School for the Blind, located on Tennessee street, were highly entertained Friday evening last by a mandolin recital by Mr. Frank A. GORDAN, of Fargo, N.C., who is at present a student of Fisk University. The program, while neatly arranged in every respect, was pleasing as well as helpful to the students and faculty. Some highclass music was rendered during the evening. Misses Lizzie WELLS and Minnie Mae HUNTER, two of the teachers, assisted in arranging the music for Mr. GORDON.
The principal of the school, Mrs. LOWE, together with the faculty, was highly pleased. The students showed their appreciation for this musical treat by rendering several piano solos and duets. Many of the advanced pupils in this school are first-class musicians and have from time to time appeared in public recitals, rendering very difficult music.
