A new release from the North Carolina band Mandolin Orange, which features the mandolin prowess of Andrew Marlin, encourages William to explore a few other choice slices of plucking heaven. After some quick bits of Vivaldi and Prokofiev, he focuses on Bill Monroe, David Grisman and Chris Thile of Punch Brothers. The Brothers' recent EP The Wireless contains a staggeringly gorgeous song "In Wonder".
