| Should you get a chance swing into Shidler, Oklahoma, crawl up around a 16oz. Steak at "Mandy's Café" every Saturday night. |


| Amanda J Payne, of Cherokee decent, saw first light on a reservation in Pawnee, Oklahoma on May 2, 1978. Mandy started riding horses as an infant where she learned to keep up or get left behind. As the only girl to follow in the Bandit's footsteps, Amanda struck out on her own at the age 18. |

| Her son Patrick, the eldest and already quite the roper, daughter Liza Jane and daughter Rowdy, the newest member of the tribe, can be seen with Mandy crisscrossing North America several times a year. (Both Mandy and Liza Jane’s namesake is grand mom Jane Payne.) |
| If you're in the right place at the right time, you can catch Amanda performing with Horses, Mules, Longhorns, or Buffalo. |
| She, too, is on the most wanted list. |
