While awaiting US release of Katzenjammer's CD, I've found a few more pics, showing just some of their instrumental diversity: mandolin, domra, and ukulele. I left out the one with a banjo. You're welcome!

QUOTE Jill
I think what surprises me the most about the above quoted post is that Dave Hanson is a moderator over at www.mandolin.org.uk......
I'm not quite sure why im getting involved in this other than the fact that as a fellow Englishman i can testify that over here it's not a massive deal to make throwaway comments that are not offensive ( in this case of an inquistive nature)
It's not a derogatory comment, it's asking a qestion that obviously puzzles Dave and needs an answer. Whats the problem?
And it's a bit rich when for the last god knows how many posts you have gentlemen obsessing about Katsenjammer to a fairly unhealthy degree for obviouis reasons.
(IMHO)
Yes they are very young and attractive and i hope we keep seeing pictures. But what I enjoy most is their vitality, costumes, instruments, showmanship. I discovered them and their musical abilities via this thread, (along with many others). What stands out in their performances is their pure joy and fun in performing, and the good humor in it all. Call it fun-uality.
Oliver,
Relax mate, all I said was that I was surprised because he moderates another forum and generally speaking moderators mind their p's and q's and err on the side of caution - I wasn't surprised/horrified/gonna go all "angry mob" about his post whatsoever and I'm sure Dave meant no harm or derogatory intent, but I'm also pretty sure that he doesn't "need" an answer to the question or is losing much sleep over it. Sometimes you make a throwaway remark and it gets jumped on - example being me making a throwaway remark about him being a moderator somewhere else and you've jumped all over it! I guess that'll teach me to make throwaway remarks, which I of course meant no offense by. Next time I'll just type that little popcorn eating guy and just stay out of it altogether.
Cheers,
Jill

I completely agree.
But..
to have a thread called ' women with mandolins' and then complain when someone has the audacity to point out the possible difference of seating positions of men/women is 'just' a bit rich?
Perhaps?
Sorry ,
Beat me to it there Jill.
It's sort of the common language/ different cultures debate i suppose.
Humour and turn of frase is a weird thing.
Peace sister.
Oliver.
What the answer to Dave's question should have been is:
Q. Is it a woman thing?
A. No, it's a chivalry is dead thing! (because Mike B. mentioned that all the lads were sitting in the chairs!)
Just having a laugh everyone! Off to have a well deserved cup of tea now!

Not obsessing over Katzenjammer, just felt a need to try to turn the thread away from the dark side back toward the original topic ... and not being home,with my vast array of pictorial representations to choose from, went to a source I knew would reward me. Shouldn't read too much into any of this stuff ... may tell more about you than the subject.
Just saying - lighten up, people!

Anyway ... I found this over at the Mandolins in visual arts thread - thanks to B. T. Walker - and just had to include it here. It's a fixer-upper for sure, needs a lot of hardware, and has a short neck, but I bet it has great low-end response!

Personally, I believe my obsession with Katzenjammer is entirely healthy
Seriously, they're fun to listen to and seem like they'd be a blast to see live, if I can catch them in my neck of the woods. And the fact that in one of their videos they show a bottle of Laphroaig in their green room also impresses me.
I've actually discovered a few other artists by following up on this thread, especially the aforementioned Katzenjammer and the Ditty Bops. It's turned out to be a good source for discovering a couple of OTB (Other Than Bluegrass) mandolin players.
If I call my guitar my "axe," does that mean my mandolin is my hatchet?

Here are a few of Corrie Jones along with a few with her band, the Good Times String Band...
The Pugs have just posted this...
The Flangipanis et al - the Dirty glass - DKM cover
Gig was upstairs at the jubilee, Aidro from Sled playin guitar, Jodie plays Aidro's mandolin (fenderwithmagpickups straight into DI oh well...)instead of guitar, and Josh from the pugs squeezing something.
not my favourite room, but it provided a bit of fun and the chance to show some mando-flange... pretty much this only happens on special occasions thus far.
the dude in the dress is terry....
I know we've had the Be Good Tanyas in here before (I think this is where I first heard them), but here's another one. There's a lot of instrument swapping going on, so actual women with mandolin shots are brief, but it's such a good song who gives a darn?

In the video directly above by the Be Good Tanyas there is a banner that runs underneath that says "Ads by Google". I guess somehow it figures out that the video is being seen on a mandolin website and it show ads for mandolin related items.
Like this....
2015 Chevy Silverado
2 bottles of Knob Creek bourbon
1953 modified Kay string bass named "Bambi"
Hey, those are pretty good for practicing your chop chords!

Yes, they can really help you cut through the rest of the band.
Can't wait to see what kind of ads will appear for "Sailors in Rags" when they post a video there. In the meantime, here are a few of Sheila Shulka with the aforementioned band hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey.
New Brunswick, NJ? That's right around the corner from me, are they playing out anywhere local?

Many years ago I lived about three blocks from the Stonemans and had many chances to meet and pick some with just about all of them...A few years ago I saw Ronnie at a festival in Va. and she is still as nutty as ever....I have went to see their bluegrass band,The Bluegrass Champs, many times here in the Maryland area, some of the time they would play a country format and had two bands going at the same time, at different places of course....I agree that Donna was the cutie of the family....Willie
Willie, I don't know if you knew they had a new album out this year and it features the last three surviving Stonemans in the band. Here is a picture of Patsy, Donna and Roni without their instruments, but it says that Donna plays mandolin on every song on the album.
