      Right!! I mean Guitar Center is like the Best Guitar Store out there. If you ever get a chance to visit one, do it. It makes Normans seem like the kiddie pool next to the GC Ocean.!!! (Im only kidding , haha. But I am glad GC exists to get to see and play guitars otherwise a long drive away.) cheers!! Keep picking!!

    You keep looking at those ES-175s Mary :-). …. I inherited the exact one you looked at tag on from. (Thought about sending photo in for your stories as he personalized it)…Wonderful instrument and I won’t ever change a thing on it but the strings. Another great video thank you. Get well soon Norm.

    Some omg moments (that SG) and yes a long maturing process for your Martin: that 92yr old Martin has been waiting a long time to hear you sing, all am sayin'.
    You seem very very happy in this video and that's very very pleasing.

    It’s so nice to see you pay it forward by giving Mr. Lemmo (who is showing great musical intelligence when playing with you) an opportunity to introduce himself. I listened to the Blue Comet and it is very good. Clearly George Benson was an influence! Serwus!

    Mary, I'm not a guitar nerd. But I am a rabid nerd about other things, and your voice and your expression communicated a feeling I know and understand so well. Your obvious joy gave me joy watching this.

    Last week I watched Rhett Schull's video from Norm's and now getting to watch Mary there makes for an uplifting experience! I may be delusional but it almost makes you feel that if everyone just sat down and played music together all the other crap would go away. Being a Texan, sometimes I just have to grab a guitar to shut out the world around me. Keep it up, Mary!

As usual really nice playing and your voice---there are no words to describe it properly, Cool jam with Lemmo on the Strats...I found myself actually close to salivating when he pulled them out of the cases....wow...God that Martin too. Incredible. Apparently I've lived under a rock, I've never heard of tuning the low A to G, it certainly works. Great song too. Appreciate you taking us along on your travels bopping around.
