    Not everyone can play the blues on a banjo but Mean Mary nails it

      Mean Mary can nail anything.. she can probably even nail Jello to the wall 😜 But definitely the blues yes!

    So cool to hear a blues tune on banjo. And Mean Mary is the best one to do this! As Garrison Keillor used to say, "When she sings a song, it stays sung!" :-)

    LOVE to hear a Good Banjo player. My Uncle once played with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs on stage many years ago. They've all since gone but at family reunions my uncle would bring his Banjo and the whole family would play gospel and bluegrass, which is my all-time favorite music.
    You put a twist on the Banjo which I find interesting. And I liked this version of "nine pound hammer/Banjo". Thank you for entertaining me, I find it enjoyable.

    Great song and video. I've always liked the sound of the banjo for some reason, especially when married to the sound of electric guitars in the Progressive / Rock music vein! The blend adds as certain haunting mystery to the songs that I like... Thanks.
