    I love watching people who love music play music. There is an honesty about them that mere entertainers will never capture!

      She and Frank really do love what they're doing.
      And considering the instruments of choice, they're definitely innovative in their compositions.

      I have also noticed this kind of behavior. They cannot control themselves, and clearly for this family/group they do it for the love of music and not the penny. May they find themselves rich in every way possible that makes and keeps them happy.

    Hello Mean Mary
    It's Christmas time again(2021) and The Swallow and the Hawk is a regular Christmas tune around hear since 2014 or so.
    One of the grandkids says it sound like snow fall.
    And she says that she bets you aren't so mean.
    A Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    What a beautiful way to use that banjo!
    And Frank's arpeggios on the back sounded more full than if you had had the extra players.

    Got to say I stumbled across your music by accident yesterday, I'm usually a hard rock/heavy metal/blues lover, but I have always been in awe of bluegrass musicians and the magic they're capable of with their instruments, it's been a long time since I enjoyed anything country, it's too "poppy" for me, I liked the old stuff. I've finally found something new that I like, and Mean Mary does it all without sounding like everyone else, fantastic. 😃
