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!
Mean Mary, Lord love you, you're fantastic and that brother of yourn' ain't too bad either. Thank you all kindly for a putting this on here for us to watch.
This song is on the Walk a Little Ways with Me (album) and the tablature is available in the book/dvd The Sparrow and the Hawk. Both are available online at the Mean Mary website, Amazon, itunes, etc. Thanks :)
To "Mean" Mary and Mr. Frank James: i keep coming back to this vid. over and over. It's not just how beautiful it sounds, or how skillfully you perform, but also how well you both do it together. And as if you could add anything else, how much fun you seem to have playing it. Thank you for making and sharing this.
I could rave (again) about the fabulous talent you two bring to the table - but the part that gets me is the vague smiles that cross your faces now and again throughout this piece. One can tell you're both enjoying the heck out of this performance - and I'm right there with you!
Not anywhere close to what I normally listen to, this is awesome!!! Something different for me to enjoy, and that is the job of music. To give you a pleasant experience!!!
This NYC native just loves your music. My hick cousin that came to block parties with his banjo was the most awesome person ever. Hick, to me, is a good thing. I love this music. Reminds me of my childhood when cousin Albie showed up and entertained up all night long with his banjo.
I absolutely love the passion....I love the music, you both are AMAZING. I wish I had that kind of talent!!! Keep sharing I will continue to watch for new videos....GOOD LUCK! - I have watched or listened to this video over and over since finding it 8 hours ago. It makes me want to learn, more importantly it makes me smile!
A joy to see something different from the ubiquitous Foggy Mountain Breakdown or Deliverance on banjo. Excellent! More please - even if it was 10 years ago!
Hi Mary, I get here on you tube, and crank up this song, and play my drums along with your tune quite a lot. I'm really a rock n' roll drummer, however, your music speaks to me, wish we could get together and jam!!! Have Fun!
I love this video...play it a few times a week since finding it this spring. I love how the brother and sister just really seem to like each other, appreciate each other, and enjoy this song. I feel certain Beethoven would love it, would be honored by their collaboration!
Love that Over the Hills mean Mary she knows how to play mean....love you darlin and that sound....l have a Barnes& Mullins...ld love to play it like that,,,,
To mean Mary I love your music so much you have a great soothing tone of music and great sound and especially you are a very talented woman who knows how to play a banjo keep up the good work I would love to listen to some more of your favorite music that you play keep making more take care and let the Lord be with you today
I like to watch this on the days I'm feelin' low, cheers me right up! Nice high speed banjer, and brother Frank flat packs the mail on that old flat top gitt'r! If you ever come to Idaho (that's one of the western states) , I'll come to your concert!
Awesome picking !! You are star ! I've been playing guitar 45 years, and good at it. I've watched a lot of your videos they are supreme, cant get any meaner than Mary !!!
gotta say wow-- thats why i love youtube, you get to stumble on things you would never see if you havent traveled the world. mean mary i gotta say you got a new fan in hawaii. absolutely love your jam sessions!!!!!
nothing makes me as happy as listening to Mean Mary. What a great musician and a treasure.

I keep going back to this as 1 of the greatest things i have ever seen, i watch it once a week atleast.
This song is on the Walk a Little Ways with Me (album) and the tablature is available in the book/dvd The Sparrow and the Hawk. Both are available online at the Mean Mary website, Amazon, itunes, etc. Thanks :)
Banjo and guitar?
An excellent album I have a copy and highly recommend visiting the mean Mary website for her awsome music.
This is pure amazing. I really enjoy Mary and her brother Frank's talents. Can't believe this got 33 "thumbs down," must've been kids on drugs?
nah if they were on drugs, they would have liked it, i would guess booze
Those were all from Bieber fans or other.
4G
because those without talent see it as a threat.
Justin Beiber fans perhaps?
@@BruceGoodwinMI Yeah, but a really bad one
I am happy to see Mary and must say we need more lady's doing this as well. Good luck to you Ms, Mary
You always take music for granted and forget what it takes to make it until you see it made and see all the talent that goes into it.
I could do it but dont wanna
I had a guitar once . if i had herd her play i would have burned it .i would never be as good as she is !

That Banjo just sounds so amazing- well done!
Why doesn’t the world know of this fantastic singer and musician,
Have watched many MM videos, love them all. Has anyone noticed the guitar player is awesome as well.
This is the spirit of the country music; From the moutains. God bless NC.
I enjoyed this so much it lifted my old sad heart? made me feel great, thank you.

Brought tears to my eyes. The song is immensely powerful and points us toward the infinite depth of joy experienced in union with our creator.
Banjo is so underappreciated.
Banjo is like fruitcake, you like it or you don't. I like fruitcake and banjo.
Less so in Mary's hands.
@@oleanderson3693 Me too Ole Anderson.
Mean Mary is underappreciated.
YES we do - even this far away! Mary is the queen!!
Checking back in here after 10 years. It's still a great piece of music. Nicely done!!!
Mean Mary love the little giggle at the end. thank you for your awesome music,,,,,Bob in So. Calif

Seen her live a while back and she can pick like nobody's business. Got a hell of a nice can on her too.
This is Gold!! I love that Banjo, just gets the blood flowing! I can’t be mad when I hear it! Mary keep it up!!
Not anywhere close to what I normally listen to, this is awesome!!! Something different for me to enjoy, and that is the job of music. To give you a pleasant experience!!!

Hick ? 😠
I can watch and listen to this over and over. What a wonderful job you two!
All of my life I have been in love with the sound of a banjo! It is refreshing to hear someone do new and innovating things with it.
WOW! Sensational ! Don't think l will listen to Ode to joy in the same way ever again. Thanks once again to RUclips.

It had been a wonderful evening, and what I needed now to give it the perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig van.

Love to listen to talented musicians take a standard or classical tune to another place and make it fresh. That’s the challenge and the fun of music.
