Miss, you are a pleasure to listen to. Very clean! Smooth.

[finnbjerke]

great musician great teahcer now go get her DVDs

[LittleBrotherBlues]

Early 30s, I think '34 Gibson L-00. I have a guitar copied from it. She plays Greven L-00v guitars also and seems like she might own a couple of these but yeah shes a stunning player.

[AnthonyMCampanella]

Wonderful!

Three cheers and many many more for the mighty Mary Flower.

I think she has one of the most authentic rag time piano derived styles going.

Up there with Steve James and others who i cannot think of right now.

She is also a GREAT instructor. She has been at Swan Gathering many years and manages to teach this complex stuff to a room of 12 people , and people get it cuz she explains and demonstrates so well with patience and accuracy.

I highly rec her videosa and if oyu have the chance to ta

I first came across Mary on JamPlay.com She has 20 or so lessons on there focusing on fingerstyle blues, and their great!! Helped my playing 100% Not sure of the year, but I believe the L-00 is correct of the guitar. If you have several (many several) thousand dollars you can get one at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. I'm saving my money.....

Great workshop at the Winnipeg Festival. Mary Flower, Watermelon Slim, Big Dave McLean, Jon Rauhouse and the Campbell Brothers made my year. Hats off.

Discovered this video purely by chance while looking for "Lightnin Wells". Ain't youtube great? This is a jewel and I hope to find out more about Mary.

[Yeractualpatience]

Mary is a great player. Lives in Portland, OR. She's also a really nice lady. If you want to try her stuff a bit more, I'd recommend her CD, Ragtime Gal; it's a great, solid intro to her playing. I also like Lightin' Wells - 'Ragtime Millionaire' is a great little album. I've never caught him live, though. Maybe next time I get out to NC.

[Yeractualpatience]

This is Mary's 1934 - I think! - Gibson L00. A great little guitar - huge sound - in the right hands!

[soricinae]

What a beautiful performance. What kind of Gibson is that, anyone know?

[vvvccc41]

an L-00 perhaps? amazing playing.

[junglecruiser]

You are seriously infected with the boogie!

Greatly enjoyed you workshop at Healdsburg this summer. Thanks!

[curbshoppin]

sweet sounds loved it

[rockinjuliescott]

I'm a huge fan. "Keep your lamp trimmed and Burning" is one of my favorites also. I wish I lived closer to Portland. Check out Mary Flowers website. She is great and an inspiration to those of us playing the blues. Thanks

[rpeate]

Great!
