Women with Mandolins

[Bill Snyder]

She is coming along well. I know it has to put a smile on your face.

[Rodney Riley]

Anyone know about Sarah Church and her sister? Just read her bio on "The Loar" site.

[Barry Wilson]

Because of this thread my computer desktop has a pic of the Lovell Sisters. Been listening to their music too. Wow, they are so good.

Earlier that evening she had went up and played during the jam secession

That's when a small group breaks away from the jam and starts their own jam, right? Happens a lot.

I got it.

Here's one of my Mom who has since passed away. She didn't play but was a good sport and went along with the photo suggestion. I think I must have inherited her sense of humor.

Thanks Jim That photo reminds me of my own mom and mother in law, both, great in spirit and humor. I smile with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

Here's my beautiful wife, Kaoru, with my Gibson Goldrush.

Very nice! A couple of beauties, for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Here is an original photo I just acquired... I have a 1920 A model like this one so it's pretty special to me to find this photo.

Colonel's Mandolin Band. The credits list the 5 girls as the First Pickers, 4 boys as the Second Pickers and the rest of the boys as Strummers.

Putting the "Kay" in KFC. Amazing photo. Any idea where this came from?

[Bluman]

I'm wondering if there is anyone in the photo lurking about the cafe?

Does it get any better than the mandolin with the Colonel's Kentucky Fried Chicken?

[journeybear]

Marilyn Monroe has shown up here before, but now this image is available on a T-shirt. NFI.

Yes, it's more like a balalaika than a mandolin, but I'm all for making an exception in this case.

[Jon Hall]

Since the Colonel was a business man I can't help but think that in return for his endorsement Kay Instruments outfitted the orchestra. Kay basses have always been in demand. I have a friend that owns 3 or 4 of them. They are so large and take up so much room that they are like house guests to have around

It is the cover art for his mandolin band.

A closer look at how Eva plays.

[journeybear]

Seems there's a bit of buzz about West Virginia' No One You Know, and their mandolin player, Rachel Burge. They placed second in SPBGMA's International Band Competition in February. Most photos at the band site are protected - from my clunky apparatus, anyway - but I have found a few not yet posted here.

The Disney film Return to Oz (1985) features a villainous character named Princess Mombi who plays the mandolin. She also changes heads instead of changing clothes, which means she's played in the film by three different actresses.

Here, then, is Sophie Ward as Mombi:


And here is Jean Marsh, also as Mombi:

Here's Hattie Webb of the Webb Sisters, a UK act who have 3 albums of their own and have also toured as members of Leonard Cohen's band.
