"Lindy" was recorded in 1929 by the Proximity String Quartet, with various string instruments - featuring mandolin - and harmony vocals. I couldn't make head or tail of some of the lyrics, but found an alternative and older version from 1905 by the Edison Male Quartette called "By The Watermelon Vine". In the end I decided to it as an instrumental with mandolin lead and 6-string and tenor guitars as backing.

The tune is probably much earlier than 1905 - from the minstrel era - and, as far as I can tell, there are no other versions on the web. So this is a little recording of the lovely old tune for posterity.
