Mean Mary - Where Were You

Mean Mary singing and playing banjo on a train. "Newest song - I just wrote. It was originally going to be a banjo instrumental but before I got started on the idea some words came to me and it sort of took a life of it's own."

What is that on the side of the railroad car directly under the banjo head? It seems to reflect your hair when you move your head. If it is a mirror why is it there?

@sidewindermack It's a shadow. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on when I first saw the recording :)

What tuning are you using? I play a 40 something year old Vega longneck. Great song.

[meanmary80]

@alabanjoman Open G tuning - but I've got it capoed to A. Thanks!

that was brilliant. i've been mesmerized for 3.13!! The lowish pitch of your voice against the high tone of the banjo works so well together, every slight vocal change is complimented by the picking. thats a mean song n some mean playing meanmary. How long you been playing all your instruments now?

[meanmary80]

@macadder09 Over 20 years. Yeah, I know, I don't a day over 16 :-)

Greetings from the UK, Man talk about inspirational!. Absolutely cracking tune, well done. Just picked my Deering goodtime up last week from the local music shop and I'm starting to learn the banjo from scratch. Any tips?

Mary, I just tried to listen to your music on Pandora. It couldn't find you. You should do something about that so more people become aware of your talent.

Love this song, btw.
