Where's that pic, Darren?? #I only see a box with a red x.

I'm a fan and friend of Jamie...I didn't know she was playing mandolin these days... I've only ever seen her with guitar. #

She's a fine songwriter, and also extremely funny,is she not? #Tell her Otter from Philadelphia says "hi"... my vocal group SheWho shared a program with her at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia a couple of years ago.

Karen, not sure why you can't see the picture, must be some kind of weird security settings. It's a link directly to a pic on her site- PIC LINK

Yeah, she's apparently been playing mandolin for a few years. I think she considers herself a beginner, but she's got a good right hand for it, as you know since you've heard her play guitar.

Oh, and yes she is a great songwriter and very very funny. I learned a lot, and actually ended up writing a song that didn't make everyone run for the exits when I played/sang it

I'll tell her you said hi.

I happened to find a picture from a festival that includes me and Jamie (and some other friends)... I'm in the back in blue shirt. Jamie is in front on the right... having treated us to some bellydancing... and the woman next to her in front is Kara Barnard who is a really terrific multi-instrumentalist from Indiana... plays mando, banjo, guitar... has several recordings, both alone and with a group called Wishing Chair.

So... 3 mando-playing women in one shot, even tho' none of us is playing in the picture.

Here's a pic of Kara playing mandolin... not sure who is with her..

**jim simpson** · Aug-01-2006, 4:01pm

Belly dancing!
Karen,
What kind of festival was this!?

**Moose** · Aug-01-2006, 4:19pm

...an "added attraction".. hee... hee...

(hey Jim: do I remember you mentioning my Takemine FT w.built-in EQ? - e-mail me off-line - we'll talk - I got GAS - thats GuitarAS!) - Moose.

**otterly2k** · Aug-01-2006, 5:23pm

This was a women's music festival...Jamie is a very talented singer/songwriter, very funny, and also not a bad belly dancer. I believe she also knows how to twirl a baton. Talk about multi-talented!

**Ken Berner** · Aug-02-2006, 9:58am

Please tell us if this is an annual festival AND if males are permitted to attend. If not, I protest!

**otterly2k** · Aug-02-2006, 10:54am

Sorry Ken, this one is just for women.

However, there are plenty of other venues in which everyone can enjoy these artists... and bellydancers, if that's what you're after.

**Moose** · Aug-02-2006, 11:00am

Boys' jus' wanna' have a little fun!? - (personaly, I wouldn't attend...anyhow) - girls...,uggh!## - Moose.

**JEStanek** · Aug-02-2006, 4:44pm

This is the wrong thread to whip out the G.R.O.S.S. membership cards. I'll wear my kilt, a wig and sing alto if I can sneak in Karen...

Okay, back on track: Donna Stoneman - Go Go Bluegrass

I think the Stonemans were all from Galax Va. Large family back then and they all played and instrument. have a photo of me and Roni Stoneman. She had her old Mastertone Banjer. A great talent.

**Ken Berner** · Aug-02-2006, 9:21pm

Way back in the past, I had the "hots" for Roni; there was just something about that girl. Maybe it was those white boots, but probably the Mastertone!

**Moose** · Aug-03-2006, 11:10am

Or...,a combination of all the above! -

**otterly2k** · Aug-03-2006, 12:22pm

Hey, Jamie... you just tell me when you plan to do that, and I'll pull up a chair and some popcorn. #Should be entertaining...

**Moose** · Aug-03-2006, 2:12pm

..ahhhh ; c'mon, outter, tell us what you "edited-out" above!

**Michael H Geimer** · Aug-03-2006, 6:21pm

Calvin admits "slimy girls" is a bit redundant as, of course, all girls are slimy, "but otherwise it doesn't spell anything"

**Mockingbird** · Aug-04-2006, 4:07pm

Here's a picture of one of my sisters playing my new mando

**jim simpson** · Aug-06-2006, 7:01pm

Louisa,
Thanks for the nice photo, it's nice to share.

**EdB** · Aug-06-2006, 9:01pm

Not only does she play mandolin, but she is obviously a fan of Wallace and Grommit!

Truly a woman of discriminating taste.

Ed

**JEStanek** · Aug-07-2006, 7:42am

Grommit is a mando fan. He got to play a nice mando after the Skaggs about a year ago...

Jamie

**big h** · Aug-08-2006, 12:39pm

grommit is a preaty cool dude.but i dont think he's a girl........or is he

**JEStanek** · Aug-08-2006, 3:20pm

Technically Grommit is a "he" or actually, Grommit is plasticine but Wallace refers to him as "lad" on numerous occasions. Wallace, however, looks like he would play banjo.

Jamie

**big h** · Aug-08-2006, 3:46pm

yes he actualy he is a banjo player becaus in the deleted scenes of the movie he was playing a banjo in the anty pesto song.....or at least it looked like a banjo.:D

**JEStanek** · Aug-08-2006, 7:30pm

Great film!

Jamie
