    I don't think Michael was replying to your post at all; he was talking about something from earlier in the thread.

    Mary Mack is obviously more of a comedian than a mandolinist.

    I agree that Mary Mack doesn't show up in the videos as a great mandolin player. But I consider using a mandolin as a prop in a comedy act is a legitimate use of the instrument and I guess you don't need to be a Chris Thile for that. Heck, she's probably as good a mandolinist as Paul McCartney!

    FWIW, her mandolin is a Rover, with a K&K Hotspot affixed to the top under the playable area of the strings, with clear tape. So her rig matches her playing. Such is the life of a struggling comedian, I'm sure. She also claims to drive a $400 Dodge Neon, she calls, "Street Heat!"

    Didn't mean to imply it wasn't Matter of fact, I'm glad she does, I'm glad to see mandolins used ANY way - well, non-destructively ... But obviously the musical application is secondary in her act. I think she's based in Nashville now, so using a mandolin makes even more sense. I do wish the audio were better.

    Heck, she's probably as good a mandolinist as Paul McCartney!

    Hey now! I am so tickled that a Beatle used a mandolin after all these many years ... I used to perk up every time that commercial came on the tube.

    FWIW, her mandolin is a Rover, with a K&K Hotspot affixed to the top under the playable area of the strings, with clear tape.

    Now, how in the world do you know that? I believe you know more than you're letting on ... That's OK, we don't need to know. Your secret is safe with us ... and any of a quarter of a million views and counting ...

    And more Dixie Chicks pix ...

    Not the greatest quality in the first one. And in the second pic, the person Martie is posing with looks familiar but I can't quite place her ...

    I would also like to share with y'all some of the lineup for this year's Telluride Festival, just announced, since it includes Martie Maguire in some solo or non-DC capacity. Other participants of note: Sam Bush, Tim O'Brien, and The Punch Brothers. BTW, I see in the promo that the Dixie Chicks won the band contest in 1990. Not too surprised.

    Nothing taudry...just a little "CSI" action! I went to her website, found a clear photo of her with a mandolin and blew the picture up about 16X.I could see the Rover logo, the K&K logo and even the tape.

    Looks like a Kentucky headstock shape.

    Poking around on Krishot website I found another to add, "Zuzka K. of New Pauza":

    I'm gonna guess Martie's mandolin is a Kimble and she's with Stevie Nicks in that photo.

    You are correct, sir! The Dixie Chicks covered Nicks' "Landslide" on their 2002 album "Home" (improve it, IMO), and that is one of the two songs they perform live that feature Martie on mandolin. The other is "Travelling Soldier," from the same album.

    Darn!

    I was hoping I would be the first to guess that one. However, Stevie doesn't seem to have aged quite as well as mandolin playing Marjorie Reece of the Reece Sisters.

    Here are two earlier (1950's/1960's) pictures of her with a nice looking Martin mandolin and a more recent picture of this lovely lady sans mandolin.

    Excellent work, per some earlier comments, South Jersey is still mostly farmlands. You got to get away from the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Pkwy.

    Try the backroads, a lot prettier.

    It's all true. Several years ago I went to a few folk festivals down thataway - Appel Farm a couple of times, Bridgeton (not Bridgewater), and the one and only Ramapo, strangest fest I ever went to, but that was northern NJ - and after one I did just that, took the scenic route through what was essentially prairie and went past Cowtown. By then it was night, and I saw the lights for miles till I came up to it. I never would have thought I'd see a rodeo stadium in New Jersey. Take the road less travelled, I say.

    I don't think Will would be caught dead putting that fretboard on one of his mandos.

    Of course, if he WERE, then we might well ask why a dead man was building mandos.

    It actually looks Rigel-ish. There's also a MandoBird on a stand behind her.

    That headstock looks like a Rigel to me and I'm sittin' here playing one I can compare it to! Also, I found another recent concert picture of Simpson online and there is a guy in her band playing a Rigel G-110.

    The mandolinist on the album is Jonathan Yudkin. Not sure if he's also in her touring band. So far I've only turned up studio credits.

    Play, gypsy, play! Sing, gypsy, sing! Ah, the wraggle taggle gypsies - oh!

    There's a band based in Brooklyn called The Loom, which includes multi-instrumentalist Bethany Chase. She has also played in The Teenage Prayers and Lonesome Jack - she's been pretty busy for someone so young, and good for her! Pictures of her playing mandolin are scarce and substandard for our purposes, especially since they tend to feature the guitar player more prominently. She's on the right in the first photo, and that pentagonal objet d'art hanging on the wall is a mandolin. Really!
