Singer, songwriter and mandolin player Austin-based Charlie Faye.
Oh - you mean Charlie Faye! Oberlin grad, originally from PA, spent a year in NY, now in Austin playing with her band Charlie Faye and The Total Sweethearts - that Charlie Faye!
Sure seems to favor the banjolin in photos, but that's all right ...

That is correct. Not to be confused with Andrea Faye who played mandolin and some times bass with some mandolin player from Chicago named Yank something or other? Or was it Andrea Yank or Yank Faye or Rachell Yank? I'm sure someone on the Cafe will know...
Yank died in 1997, if that helps the timeline. And Andra Faye did indeed join Saffire in 1992, relacing Earlene Lewis. Of course, her playing with the one need not have precluded playing with the other.
By the way, if anyone has some time and info about Yank Rachell, please forward it to me so I can spruce up his page or register with wikipedia and do it yourself. It is woefully lacking, maybe 125 words in all. Johnny Young's page could use some work too.
Here's Yank sharing the cover of Mandolin World News with Lorraine Duisit and her mandola, many years ago.

Lots of Brazilian music activity for me lately! Here I am with a new trio I'm playing with in Milwaukee, Toco Rio. We just have a couple private parties booked for this month. Another new group for me is Chicago Choro performing July 12 in Wilmette, IL at CJ Arthur's. I'm continuing to play with Chicago's 10 piece Orquestra de Samba, performing July 16 and 19 at outdoor festivals in Evanston, and playing with guitarist Paulinho Garcia on a few gigs this fall. My bandolim is happy with all this choro action!
Hi linda
Thanks for piping up. It's been a while since a member threw her hat into this ring - and there are plenty, I'm sure. Of course, with all us silly people hereabouts, I can't blame them for being reluctant.
So - Milwaukee, eh? In case you hadn't heard, Katzenjammer is flying all the way from Norway just to play at Summerfest today, 3PM and 6PM, then flying all the way back. More info on them here and here. I know I'd go if I were that close! Then again, you're probably parking there right now and won't see this till later. Enjoy!
Here they are, busking (for fun, profit, or both) at this year's SXSW, this year's Sundown Festival, and last year's Kartfestivalen.

Sarah Jarosz's new album Song Up In Her Head is available on ITunes for $8. That's a deal, no mater how you look at it.
As Scott pointed out in his blog, this is one of the most read threads on the Cafe. If 'Women with Mandolins' want to promote their efforts here, God bless them. It only makes sense to market to the favorably disposed.

I LOVE Katzenjammer! I"ve been listening to their CD Le Pop while out on bike rides. I didn't get to Summerfest today as the whole day was charted out in advance, darn it. I'm sure they were great.
The last time I was on this thread was page 1,Post #24! I'll wait another 60 or 70 pages and post again.
Happy 4th of July!

Thanks! No, not Bulgaria, but the picture was posted here by my friend Plamen Ivanov who is a fine mandolinist from Bulgaria. The mandolin is a modern bowlback made by Gabriele Pandini, an Italian maker. The photo was taken at a Milwaukee bank where my viola playing friend Kory and I were hired to play classical music for people who came to see the bank's holiday display. A prominent part of the display was robot penguins emerging from a space ship, which is right behind us in the picture... Nothing says the holidays quite like robot space penguins.
Except maybe zombie or vampire robot space penguins.

I dont know how to post the video but Abby Dewald of the Ditty Bops plays what looks like a Webern f5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQfwudBuY9s
I made a booboo and said Abby and it was Amanda. But trust me the vid is great it was from Craig Ferguson show. My bad!
FYI: To embed, copy the string of code so indicated, go back to the Café (having two windows open really helps) click the youtube icon above the message pane, paste that code where indicated, click ok, and bang zoom there you go. If you've done it right you'll see a paragraph's worth of code with YOUTUBE at beginning and end. Doublecheck with preview, if you wish.
PS: Yep - Amanda. Somewhere in my video archives I've got a few of their talk show appearances. Delightful. I think this was from January 2005, and they had also just been on Conan that New Year's Eve. I'd like to see them someday. I'd like to see them on Austin City Limits or Soundstage someday!
