I love the Donna Stoneman pic, Wish I had a poster of her. Any body know the year the pics was makde? Got any more?

Really - my last try, in case you caught my other 2 upside down bloopers. They're all great pics. Judith

what are those huge double instrument/necked things some of the folks above are playing???
hey- more about donna stoneman- she looks like my kinda mandowoman!

Judith,
Nice Picture!

Bobster,
The picture of Donna Stoneman was from June 8, 1970 taken at West Finley, PA.

You can see her with the rest of the Stoneman's in Bluegrass Odyssey - a documentary in pictures & words, 1966-86 by Carl Fleischhauer & Neil V. Rosenberg.

Here's one from 1973 of Alice McLain of the McLain Family Band:

Thanks, Jim, for starting this thread. If I had some pics of Sharon Gilchrist, they'd be here. She and Bryn Davies made the most remarkable complement to the combined musical presence of Tony Rice and Peter Rowan this past year; couldn't get enough of that group and hope they keep playing together for some time to come. Anybody have some shots of Sharon et al.?

Eva Scow, mandolin prodigy from Fresno and now the Bay Area. Keep your eye on her.

ledmandlin,

I like this one of Sharon Gilchrist:

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.

These last two are great, Jim. Keep 'em coming, folks.

Sharon picking up her GOM:

Nice picture, Bill, and nice KPIG sticker in the background. Great station.

I like all the pictures of girls with mandolins (except the one with the 5:00 shadow):/

It's been seen around these parts before but Im very proud of this lil' picker named Melody...

We have this beautiful lady here among us:

Two beautiful German women with mandolins - Caterina Lichtenberg and Gertrud Weyhofen. Germany`s most brilliant mandolin players. I have a better picture of Caterina at home. Will post it tonight.
