Can't find a photo but a link to the Kennedy Center performance video. Worth a peek if you never heard of the Pinetops.

As far as music featuring female performers you can get Oh Sister! The Women's Bluegrass Collections 1 and 2 at Amazon and elsewhere. #Its a collection of Rounder artists.

what is martie maguire playing?

That would be an E.F. Elliott 8-string electric mando. Ed is a "surf guitar" specialist, residing in Oklahoma. Worked with Music Man and Mosrite (you can see the influence in his guitars).
Ironic, as you don't see much surfing in the Okie state; nonetheless, he makes a fine electric mandolin. I regret letting my ruby red PRS-like 8-string go a few years ago.

Well, there are some fine photos to add to my "mandobabe" collection, originally started by THIS GUY.

f-d

Brilliant. One must particularly admire the artistry of the one lady apparently balancing the mando on her head while conducting a personal health exam.

**Ken Berner** · Jan-26-2006, 10:58am

Here is Deannie Richardson, fiddler and mandolinist on tour with Patty Loveless.

**Joe F** · Jan-26-2006, 11:14am

Lisa Fuglie is the fiddle player in the band "Monroe Crossing," but she's also an awesome mandolin picker as well.

Those earlier Millas are certainly a lot more attractive than their b@n#o playing contemporaries, IMHO.

**wannabethile** · Jan-26-2006, 3:30pm

**JEStanek** · Jan-26-2006, 3:32pm

Those Banjo Gals of Yester-year look like th runaway bride! #If you can see the whites of the eyes on three sides they're crazy! #The Princess Leia Quintet Rocks (and not a single Dawg beard!!)!

Are they really women or are you photoshopping us? Dang! It kind of reminds me the the All Nurse band from the original Saturday Night Lives.

**Plamen Ivanov** · Jan-26-2006, 4:37pm

Paola Esposito and one more Pandini...

Those are patented Tone Producers. That way they can also sing thru their ears.
