Terrific UK band, The Magpies (they've now dropped the Bella, Polly and...prefix) from Yorkshire.
The Mando player is Polly Bolton, from York.

Purr more, hiss less. Barn Cat Mandolins Photo Album
The sister to the right appears as if she's deeply concerned....perhaps she spied a banjo player nearby?
Ok, so it is not a mandolin but damn, it is worth a listen....
It cheered me up in these turbulent times.

I found this while exploring museums online. The painting is resident in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is dated about 1633 and appears to be a celebration related to a successful hunt. You can explore the museum website here: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/mijn/v...#/SK-A-4844,27
Am I missing something? Not seeing a mandolin.

No, when I inserted the photo I didn't realize it wouldn't display the mandolin at the lower left of the painting. It just doesn't display in the post. You'll have to follow the link to see the mandolin. It may not be a mandolin, but it's a mandolin-like object. Sorry.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

Manoela Wunder -
Manoela is my music teacher; she is a classically trained violinist. We have been working on the Bach Partitas.
Here's Manoela playing Bach's Adagio from the Sonata in G minor:

Here’s the video from a Patrick’s post. I thought she would be playing mandolin but she does a nice job on violin on that Bach.

It is great meeting all of you and hope to hear from you soon!
Approaching this thread's 15th year. I don't think Elizabeth Taylor has already graced this thread. From recent Monteleone thread:
Old Hometown, Cabin Fever String Band
Congrats on this Jim. Really great thread. My favorite is the first !
Yesterday on Jeopardy, the first game of the post-Alex-Trebek era, there was this clue:
Given the clues - female painter, France, time period - the answer was Mary Cassatt, obviously. But I did not know that her career started, or entered the big time, with a painting on this subject. It is indeed quite an accomplished work.
PS: This painting has been posted here before. But I thought the context, and the information regarding its importance in Cassatt's career, earned it a second appearance.
Not according to the search engine. Good going! Clearly, Liz had excellent taste in mandolins.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
