10,000 Maniacs' Mary Ramsey

Kari connects Mary to her dog and cat, while her grandmother also visits, as they talk about knowing when to follow one's gifts, the gift of singing, songwriting, playing the piano, violin and viola, the catalyst that put her on the life path of music she's on now, how nature has been in this moment the world is in, a gift in this slow down, being in nature, how she finds grounding, challenging oneself, the catalyst and meaning of "Even With My Eyes Closed," Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto gets a mention, the healing power of music and being that channel of pure joy on stage and in her songwriting.
