I have watched video's on You-Tube for years and I have no idea how I have never found this wonderful talent before. I have been watching you and your husband Frank for hours and just cannot get enough. I predict a huge record label in your near future and have absolutely fell in love with your music. Thank you it is amazing and personally I am looking forward to many more hours listening to it.
I stumbled on this video and dunno how it happened. I do however know that I've given it thumbs up, favored it, commented and subscribed. Your playing and singing is soothing and I look forward to being update with more of your music. Thank you kindly, Angel.
its funny,if she had Brown Eyes she'd look just like my Aunt Elaine,when she was younger.I also think she has a better voice than Jennifer Nettles of sugarland of course.thumbs up all the way
This is the second viddy of Mean Mary, and I'm even more impressed. Not only is she beautiful, tough as whit - leather,as well as a world class banjo player, she can sing, too!
Why isn't this the new pop music? She obviously deserves it more than those folks everybody idolizes these days. Real talent. Great with a banjo and a gorgeous voice. What more should it ever take?
I can't believe this! I stumbled upon this accidentally. Mean mary- I've added you to my favorites, and will be following you from now on! --- Thank YOU very much!
you make me miss home, hanging up in Oak Ridge on top of the mountain, listening to everyone play all night long as people come and go bringing food and laughters. Thank You.
i have just started to learn how to play the banjo and i know that you are the best i have ever herd.i hope that i can learn at least one of your songs this year.by the way im 65
first ive hear you mary where are you from ? and where can i see you perform? come to north ohio ...loved this song we have summer fests up here i can hook you up with a gig ....scott taylor
Very nice! Stumbled on this video just wanted to say from a fellow songwriter in Texas that I loved it! Gonna download some songs...Thanks for sharing
Wow! Great playing and the voice of an angel. I am definitely adding this video to my favorites. Even with the traffic in the background this song is a 5 Star forever.
I can really relate to the words in this song, because they tell the story of my life for the past 14 years. I wish I could meet a woman like "Mean Mary," then my life would be "much brighter!"
Mary the more I watch this the more I want to watch it.I just received two of your c.d.s and I love them.Will have to get some more.I just cant get enough of MeanMary.You are the wind in my sails.Michael
not my style of music,but i'm open to anything.I was just helping a customer about a banjo and he mentioned grandpa jones,so I brought him up on you tube,and there you were on the suggestions.....you are great at what you do.love the 6 year old performance too.that looks like a deering banjo if i'm not mistaking...sounds great mean mary,your new fan-Matt
Hi Mary! Discovered your clips while checking out some Grandpa Jones stuff. I am amazed at your wealth of talent on several instrument (and vocals too)! Count me in as a fan for life!! Huggss!! John.
Very nice song. I've listened to a few of your video's and really injoy your singing and the way you play. Keep the videos coming. Thanks for the great sound, Dave.
besides a fast picker. mary you have a voice like a angel--soothing and up lifting. i could listen to her all day. what would happen if she had a band to back her up. she is fantastic.
i have to say, i really really enjoyed this video/song... but then i looked you up on itunes and was slightly disappointed with the addition of rock-ish drums/production, in my opinion your music/songwriting can and should stand alone with solely acoustic instruments
sorry but my only word for you is awesome ! :) so if you see alot on your comments ? its your fault for being so awesome ha ha ha waah ! i said it again ! best wishes always my friend,bye :)
Mean Mary, "I've been down," too! But, you are one hot-lookin' country gal, and maybe I will be lucky enough to find a gal like you one day. I am almost 48, so I best hurry up! I love you "fast banjo" video, and also your "I've Been Down" video as well. Gosh, so down-to-earth, so honest and sincere, and "so country!" ;-)
I'll put my money where my mouth is!I'll buy your recordings! All who say you sound like Reba or someone are full of B.S. If you compare to anyone,it'd be the great Joan Baez who could make a rock feel.Wish I could jam with you.Your adoring fan,Corliss Stonehouse
This was the first Mean Mary song I ever saw ... I just love your talent, and have waited for more Mean Mary ever since! Have really appreciated all your videos for the art you display in many forms. Great stuff!
Well done!!
