    I think it's funny when I do a Google search to try and answer some question on the cafe and the post itself is one of the first hits.

    Just goes to show what a rich source of information the Café is. Or that you need to adjust your parameters.

    Or both!

    And does she fingerpick the Mando? I can't see a pick in photo 1 or 2 and there is definitely no pick in photo 3.

    "Is Carolyn playing a Mann?"

    Don't they all?

    As for being pick-less, as my right thumb nail gets longer, I can dispense with my pick (this is on guitar, mind you). She's playing an E-mando, thumb-nail and crank up the gain!

    Don't think so.

    I found this youtube link by googling, but I can't do youtube at work so I don't know what she says.
    "Carolyn Wonderland runs down her gear..."

    Looks to me like she is fingerpicking in all 3 photos.

    I like your sister's stuff. Real country, but where did she get that accent growing up in "rural New Jersey"? :-)

    You are correct, sir. Her mandolin was made by Gary Clark, slide guitarist in the Houston band Carrie Ann & the Apocalyptics. Solid body, piezo pickup, perfectly balanced - she holds it by the strap button and it hangs just as it should, very cool. "Loud as all get out," she says. She's got some other fine instruments, as she demonstrates.

    South Jersey is pretty far south (for the Northeast), extending even further south than the Mason-Dixon line. There's a place there in the flatlands with a rodeo stadium and western wear emporium right across the road, you could swear you were on the prairie. Also, growing up listening to Merle Haggard, Kitty Wells, and Loretta Lynn, being mentored by Dottie West, living in Nashville for nearly 20 years - I'd be surprised if she DIDN'T sound country!

    Yep she has been there for awhile, my mom drove her out when she was 16.
    She has made alot of contacts in the music industry. I met Sam Bush when I didn't even know who he was. I was at the Ryman 1st row at a fundraiser for the Roy Husky Jr foundation. I also met Allison Krauss and Vince Gill that night. What a blast.
    We grew up with traditional country music, on a horse farm. We still ride.
    And yes we have Cowtown still going strong, I love the rodeo!

    Struggling to stay on topic...Dixie Chicks,YES! I love me some Natalie Mains guitar strummin'. Yup,she can sing too. Her Dad is such a big part of music.

    Reminds me of Sarah Hull. Her Dad is a monster mandolinist of the first degree. Yep,Sarah is pretty good too. Her flatpik guitar is two scoops of wonderful. Then,she sings and is learning mandolin. Cool.

    Play music with your kids. My son is my biggest fan. Really. He's one of the very few who get me.

    Here is a link to a YouTube video of one of Mary Mack's acts using the mandolin. Not great playing, but pretty funny! BTW, I tried that YouTube link button, but it didn't work. Any trick to that?

    Don't worry about it, Countrygirl. It's nice having a woman in the room contributing to the thread. Welcome to the Mandolin Café.

    Countrygirl, glad you're here. There is lots of info and comraderie here, but sometimes you might have to spank back. Enjoy yourself and looking forward to your posts.

    Countrygirl, I did not take that comment as a "hand spank" to you. I took it as Michael being self-deprecating. Emotional content does not come across well on a message board, so intent can often get garbled. I too am glad you're here and your posts are well taken.

    Oh - You mean like this?



    I didn't see an advanced button but I clicked on the you tube icon above the message pane and then followed your instructions. This forum is SUCH a learning experience!

    Mary Mack is obviously more of a comedian than a mandolinist. She admits to being something of a lapsed clarinetist. Clearly the mandolin is a more useful prop for a comedian. One song is about an insecure girl who joins the Holy Rollers, a faith-based roller derby league and the other is a jingle for an imaginary line of earthy colognes: Hamster's Glen. Offbeat but funny. Audio's pretty bad, though ...

    BTW, in the other video you notice a Marshall amp onstage. Not sure if that's hers or the club's.
