    nothing makes me as happy as listening to Mean Mary. What a great musician and a treasure.

    I don't post often, with the exception of things that inspire me. EVERYTHING in this music absolutely screams talent, original thought, a razor-sharp skill, and all within an intrinsically American style. Every time I listen to Mary's music I am on the verge of tears with pride in her craft and in our culture. Ride on Mary and Frank! We need you now more than ever! I am inspired!
