She's probably best known for Western swing, but plays a lot of kinds of music really well.

Cindy is an exact twin of my best friend Mary!
Mary wanted to learn an instrument and we decided it'd be easier to share videos of Cindy as her!

One of my guitar heroes. Absolute class. So hard to find players with such exquisite skill coupled with impeccable taste.

Great photos - you took them, I assume? (I see the video going in one, I guess.)

Pretty good-don't see a lot of women playing those instruments; one of the Larkin Poes is all that immediately comes to mind.
Yep. Just superfine. Here’s a vid of her playing a Weissenborn-style baritone made by the ever-inventive Larry Pogreba.
I had the pleasure of seeing Cindy with Redd and Bill Kirchen. It was a firm-handed musical spankin'.
I also saw them during the Folk Festival. Went to see Redd and got lucky that Cindy was there too!
As I recall, they performed a couple of times during the weekend. I saw rpthem in the late afternoon/early evening.
Cindy starts at 31:12

Yeah, Cindy is a great player - one of my heroes for many years. And one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
Very talented! Would like to see her in concert sometime.

Thanks for posting those. She's a real player! Redd's doing runs that are reminiscent of Danny Gatton when he played Remington Ride.

What I especially admire about Cindy is that she's great technically, but she knows when to not play, or not play very much, and her playing always conveys a sense of joy at building the performance. (I'm glad to hear she's a nice person, too.

Cindy's one of the best to be sure. It's always a pleasure to hear her play. Actually, I first heard her on The Prairie Home Companion. I quickly learned of her immense talent. Thanks for posting.
