    I waited until I looked at every post before I added to this thread, to make sure I wasn't duplicating. It took days, and I've enjoyed a lot of it. Let me get caught up. But before I do, I must say I was very impressed by the inclusion of Lorraine Duisit in the very first post on this thread. I was knocked out by her and her mandola and Trapezoid (including the late, lamented Freyda Epstein) when I saw them waaaaay back in the early 80s. Their "Now And Then" album is a gem, well worth seeking out. Thank you, Jim, for bringing her back to my mind.

    First, I am shocked, SHOCKED, that no one posted a pic of Rhonda Vincent until #188. Y'all are slipping. She's the first one came to mind (after Lorraine). BTW, she looks a lot better in a green dress than Roland White, IMO.

    Second, in #232, the instrument Tracy Chapman is holding may have a bowlback body but there are twelve tuning pegs. I don't understand.

    Third, in the picture in #1037, that person bears an eerie resemblance to Robert Smith of The Cure ...

    I have been unable to find a picture of Nina Berger, whom I saw accompany Kate Wolf long, long ago on guitar and mandolin. She had the best quip about a mandolinist's mind set: "Mandolinists spend half their time tuning their instruments, and the other half playing, thinking that it's out of tune." Not being out of tune, but being, ah, anxious - that gets it about right. No pics with mandolin at her website. I'll keep looking. She deseves to be included.

    But I have been successful in my efforts to find pics of Catherine Zavala of The Mollys - a great Tex-Mex/Irish band (I'm not kidding) from Tucson, one of the most fun live acts I've ever encountered. They may or may not be together any more - the website is funky, but these are from their myspace page.

    Lastly, I really want to put up my picture of Brigitte Bardot strumming a guitar, which is strategically placed, preserving her modesty, though she is wearing a teddy, I think. It looks like she is really playing it, not posing. It's currently my desktop background, very inspiring. A nice, casual shot, nothing cheesy, and if it were a mandolin I'd chance it. I found it at google photos; you can too. C'est assez.

    OK, posting Catherine pics separately from all my ramblings ...

    Catherine Zavala of The Mollys - a great Tex-Mex/Irish band (I'm not kidding) from Tucson, one of the most fun live acts I've ever encountered. They said both cultures are Catholic, and use accordion (played very well by Kevin Schramm, not pictured).

    #1) Nancy McCallion with guitar, Catherine on the right (Yep, that'd be Irish and Texican, right there). Nice old A, great sound, just a little reverb.

    #2) Did I not mention they were fun? Well, then! Yes, that's a capo, don't know why.

    "Mandolinists spend half their time tuning their instruments, and the other half playing, thinking that it's out of tune."

    i've found that to be so TRUE!...
    sometimes my ear just seems to hear some dissonance that my tuner swears isn't there!...
    i thought it was just me!

    anyway, i really enjoyed this thread as well...it was big fun spending several days going through it a bit at a time...several pictures have found there way into my desktop rotation...which is always a great thing!...

    Just going by the one posted here, that assuaged my curiosity. Don't need (or want) to see more, thank you!

    Here's Rhonda in a different green dress, even from this viewpoint looking better than ... oh, never mind!

    Mike, you do realize that you can get a gander of said Mr. White in a green dress on page 25 of this thread don't you.

    Poached from Alan Bond's Mandolin Museum. It's not plagiarism if you cite your sources ... right? There are a dozen or so more, but I liked these the most. Personally I would have titled #6 "Gibson Girl - NOT!"

    Rather than poaching from other sites why not simply tour the selections on the cafe Postcards section?

    I mentioned Carrie Rodriquez a couple of pages back. I was in Austin yesterday and I found her new album "She Ain't Me". She plays fiddle, e-mando and tenor guitar. Besides the picture below the liner notes include pictures of her instruments. Very cool for the geek oriented. She's a singer songwriter so the 4 strings are support not featured but you can hear them in use.

    This picture is from the back cover and too cool not to post.

    OMG! I had no idea this collection existed. Some of those are absolutely fabulous. And all different from what Alan has on his site.

    Perhaps "poaching" was too strong a word. After all, some from his collection have shown up in this thread previously. I just wanted to give him the attribution, in a somewhat humorous manner.

    Perhaps someone in administration might want to approach him concerning contributing some of his images to the Postcards section. As you can see, he has some great ones.

    Looking at these reminds me of just how popular the mandolin was during the late 19th-early 20th centuries. It really was a "mandolin craze." Those were the days, before the guitar. Sigh ...

    Yes, but mandolins ruled - or at least were much more prominent, proportionately, than they are today. And people knew what they were.

    When I play my MandoBird, some people think it's "Guitar Hero." Confounding.
