    Hello Mean Mary! I come from the province of Québec (Canada). I'm a french speaking person. Forgive my english. I'm a classical guitarist (also electric & acoustic guitar). I study to the Music University from Montréal. My father died a long time ago and he was a banjo player (also fiddle and acordeon). I will go to my musical store for set up his old Italian banjo who was sleeping since 30 years in my wardrobe. You are a stimulating musician for me Mean Mary. I will learn by listening to you.

    I love you Mary. Been a fan for a while now. You make me smile and I bet millions of others too. Great smile. Even your smile and voice on the Country Boy Eddie TV Show in 1986 playing full-sized guitar and singing Long Tall Texan. You are a shining light. :-)

    You drive me crazy, Mary. I bought your album nearly a year ago and listen to it constantly. I picked up my guitar which I haven't touched in 8 years (after playing for nearly 30 years... not 30 years continuously, ya' dang fools). I shed a tear when after about 15 minutes into it, I finally began to pick-up the rhythm and the pickin'. Thank you ever so much. You brought back to life and ol' picker and a grinner.

    Thanks to Mean Mary, I have to travel 9 miles to Guitar Center today to buy the newest model of the Goodtime banjo. :) I already had the old Goodtime Special with the resonator. But now I want the same banjo as hers.

    Thank you for this great original composition - It is also nice and sweet to be accompanied by your own brother especially in an era where families as we knew them are just coming apart or simply do not exist anymore. Thank you for the great relaxing hours of music you shared with the community,

    I fell in love with this song and Joy instantly. If you want a real treat order Mary's tab book The Sparrow and the Hawk. It comes with a DVD that has music video, blooper, and instruction sections in it. All eight songs are at least partially if not fully written by Mary and sound great. Mary, Frank, and Norton are as fun to watch play as they are to listen to. I'm sure that Frank and Mary make their parents proud. I hope that with a lot of practice I can play this too. Keep them coming Mary!
