Mary delighted a large audience in her first Caltech appearance in 2005. She came to the Folk Music Society's attention when they were contacted by her son, who is a Caltech student. They learned that she is an award winning banjo player from Tallahassee, Florida, who had not really performed in the West, though she was an established player in the Southeastern United States. She's won banjo contests in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama, and she plays mountain dulcimer as well.
She is steeped in old time string band music, as this music has been in her family for three generations. She performs with her husband, Bob on guitar, and she has five recordings to her credit, including her newest one, Banjo Dreamin': Suwannee Nights.
