    You are correct, sir! I have dug through my video archives ... ... ... and found the following: In three appearances on TV talk shows over the last six years she sang but did not play, but in the fourth she played guitar. And, as you astutely observed, she used an open tuning that required the use of just one or two fingers in a straight-across barre configuration that she would shift up five and seven frets to get the 1-4-5 change. Midsong there was a key change, and she stopped playing altogether. May have been for dramatic effect, may have been to concentrate on singing, but surely couldn't have had anything to do with the key change per se, as it would have meant no more than moving those three chords up a fret or two. Anyway, she got through it just fine, and didn't break a nail.

    Now if she would only apply this same approach to the mandolin ...

    And a couple more. I didn't know Indiana made mandolins. Their myspace page has their motto: "Creating Awareness & Joy ~ One Tune at a Time," which is not a bad way to go. That's quite a paint job on Lizzie Hastings' guitar! They're all very colorful, in that photo.

    They are based in St. Augustine FL. Not sure if they are affiliated with Saltwater Cowgirls Surf Camp, a few miles up the road in Jacksonville Beach. My computer won't let me go there, says it's dangerous ...

    Vickie Lynn Theobald from Wichita, Kansas with The New Prairie Grass and the Kansas Heart Band (that's right - put that mandolin front and center!) and also at an earlier age. Gotta start somewhere and stick with it, and soon enough you'll have an F-style.

    Rebecca Lovell of The Lovell Sisters from Calhoun, Georgia. Yes, that's a tattoo on her left shoulder - which is not as common in bluegrass as in rock. Then again, her solo stuff is a bit more progressive as well. She's a tasteful picker, fine singer - hope for the future.

    Hadn't thought of that. You're probably right. That is a LOT of detail and would have meant a lot of time, ink, and pain to go the permanent route. It's on her fretting arm, which is usually turned away from the audience.

    Here are The Lovell Sisters ... the way Rebecca is holding her mandolin in the second one makes me nervous!

    Would you believe ... women ON mandolins? OK, the first two are angels, but they seem to be female angels. Very nice work, especially the carving. These are by Ken Ratcliff, who I believe is a member. Now if only the one in the middle were playing a mandolin ...

    Hey Journeybear...Acltually, only the center one is an angel. The left hand one is an older woman, and the one on the right is a painting from an early portrait, reportedly of Ken's grandmother, named Grace. For more of Ken's mando paintings, see the Silver Angel Myspace site. (see my sig line)

    Oops! My bad. Didn't notice the absence of wings in #1, though I did in #3. Eh, nobody's perfect, and I am living proof. Looks like I selected the one you have for your avatar. Mysterious ...

    Also, thanks for the painting, Bill. Really beautiful. Nice to see angels playing instruments besides harps. Perhaps Mary and baby Jesus were bluegrass fans ...

    OK, that's just silly. We all know who the Father Of Bluegrass is, and when he was born, or do we .........

    This is Erica (?) of MV&EE. My band played a show with this duo, and they knocked my little socks off. Too bad it was the worst show my band has ever played, huh? Anyway, look up these two. They're great! Erica makes that little Mandobird sing, and she can absolutely break your heart with a lapsteel.

    Hard to tell ... looks like mixolydian mode, though ...

    Here's Ariel Jade from Jackson MS, with possibly the shiniest mandolin I've ever seen. She's pretty good, and knows her way around a guitar too. She's all of 15, and might have a long, brilliant career ahead of her.
