The future is bright with young mandolin players like Bella Betts!
Alvina Voznesenkaya. Oh my.
Thanks JeffD! Great vid. Wow.
I can't remember ever seeing Nina Gerber here.
She's known more for her guitar work.
One of the great flat picking woman of our time.
Here's an old video [1980] of her and Kate Wolf.
Wait for it……….Wait for it………….

The twins were on the NBC WCHS-TV show 'The Buddy Starcher Show' in Charleston
starting in the early 60's. When Starcher left it became 'The Sleepy Jeffers Show'
[Honey's husband] and ran till '73 when they were replaced by the Today Show.

I first heard the old saw about mandolin tuning from her, and it has stuck with me ever since: "Mandolinists spend half their time on stage tuning, the other half playing, thinking they're out of tune." I prefer this to the more simply stated version, as it captures the nearly paranoid doubt associated with playing the often vexing instrument.
I had a deuce of a time a few years ago finding any photos of Nina playing mandolin. Still not finding any. Perhaps she hasn't played it out much since her days with Kate Wolf, and that was before the internet and cell phone cameras existed.

Bonnie and the Clydes…
Bonnie Sims playing mandolin. A fun mix of Bluegrass, Western Swings and torch songs. This was at a house concert in San Antonio. I was impressed with how they were able to mix acoustic and electric together effectively. Bonnie and Tim Sims singing a duet in the attached picture.
