Good timing, I was being chased out of an outback Queensland Caravan Park, as I was listening to this tune.

I like how the sky reflecting in the banjo makes it look like her picking is emitting laser fire 🔥

Since Mean Mary was not singing on this piece, I liked that the camera operator decided to focus on her fingers, particularly on her left digits practically dancing all over the fretboard.

Mary is one of the cleanest, truest pickers ive ever heard.

Danm that woman is the most sexiest ,most beatiful ,most Talented Woman I,very ever seen !

She is equally talented on the guitar as much as she is on this Banjo! This girl can really play her songs so well! I could never tire of listening to her play. She's that good, and there just isn't any other way to say it. She's got it going on!

This best thing about listening and watching Mean Mary play that Banjo is seeing that absolutely Beautiful smile while she's playing! Talented and Beautiful... what more can a man ask for? 👍👍😘

That was Mean, Mary! 💞

Mary is a beautiful woman deep inside there is a special glow to this lady her picking and grinning is great but there is something deep inside of her that shines out I can see it she is special very special whoever is married to this woman is one of the luckiest man on this planet

Mary: If I sent you my banjo picks could you train them to play like yours do then send them back to me?

This darling little angel critter signed my banjo for me when she was here in Ohio.I love her to PIECES!

And every note clean when at speed, bravo Mary

you got some swag on that banjo!!!!!

She is so Cool!

Talk about under the Radar...This woman is a sensation. Did you know that she does all of the instruments, too. A mean fiddler to boot. Mean Fiddler.

Great!!

She's so fast on those strings and makes it look so easy. But you know it's not. Love her performance!

Mean Mary ... one of the Best Banjo pickers on the planet, but she's awesome on guitar also! I like it when she "speeds the tempo up" and starts up a little "wiggle" ... she's a beautiful woman but so humble about it! Two thumbs up 👍👍 Mary, I love watching you play and the songs you write! I'm a Fan for Life 👍👍😎

Nothing compares to Mean Mary and her unlimited talent!

always one of my favorite tunes

There’s something about Mary...😍

yeah!!!!

Blackberry Blossom! I been there, deep in the summer, deep in the southern forest, lost in the blackberries and eating your way out. Mean Mary James, pass the boiled peanuts please.

Mean Mary sure can play real nice

thankful for the speed setting to slow her down. can learn what she is playing. she is fabulous!

She plays a mean banjo. She has a great talent! Love to listen to her..

You should be Sweet Mary because your music is so very sweet to the ears and played by an angel. Thanks so much!

Mary You Make that Banjo sing wonderful a breath of fresh air to our ears thank you

Excellent as usual, blistering fast picking.👍👍

She shreds on that banjo

Ya all check out this video of Carl Hunt, “Hap’s Breakdown” posted by James Stiltner. Carl was a regular on the Arthur Smith show in the 1960’s on WBTV-3, Charlotte, N. C. His was the first nationally syndicated country music TV show. Arthur Smith wrote Guitar Boogie and “Feuding”Banjos inn1955 (Dueling Banjos) and hundreds of other known and unknown tunes. What a great rendition of Blackberry Blossom. When I was a kid having “Mean” anything mention it was great.

As some one said every note is clean as a whistle, bravo Mary

mean mary is my absolute all time hero of everything good in the world.

You Win!!! wink

Нет, Мэри.... я всегда думал, что "играть быстро", и "играть ярко" - две сильно больших разницы. Ты меня переубедила, Цыганочка. Ты - Королева, ты можешь и так, и эдак :))

So...beat that!

I think Mean Mary finds it harder to play at slower tempos ... I noticed that when she speeds the tempo up ... her picking gets more pronounced and accurate and she rolled her eyes a little when playing a slower tempo. The thing is ... when you can play as well as she does... playing a slower tempo is sort of "boring " and someone that plays as well as she does wants to " Get going " and go on to the next song! Since the camera was focused in on her left and right hands ... I noticed she was more comfortable playing faster. I may be mistaken... but I think I noticed some " Fret rattle" in the sound of the Banjo... which is easily remedied with some small adjustments to the bridge or maybe a little heavier gauge set of strings! I enjoy watching her pick that Banjo ... and just watching her ... she's a Beautiful woman... and that's a fact!

WAAHOOO!

Yes ma'am. Can I see your driver's license and proof of insurance? Yes. ma'am. Thank you. Do you know how fast you were going?

wooow

I do not know if love your playing or that banjo better lol

Tovala Cram This girl doin good thing for your people who else plays it so good toput on you tube?

SUUUUUUUPAAAAAAA !!!!!

When she is playin, real fast an image of Charlie Chaplin Running away at top speed from Someone popped into my Head.😂😊😅

Super job!! I think Deering should have that black head made matt instead of gloss reflects too much.

She should come to Florida to win the Banjo competition. MeanMary is an absolute savage compared to Mary Cox. Florida Folk Festival check it out.

I swear I saw smoke coming from the fretboard!

?!...oh yes

Qual modelo de seu banjo? o

No body picks like that!!!!!
