The ultimate demonstration of self-confidence to share your past unfiltered. Thanks for being genuine, that's a quality that is so refreshing about your videos.

Well said. It cuts through a fog of thousands of videos.

Its funny because its true and even now half of their residential houses and buildings are stuck in the 70's as well. You can almost taste the asbestos.

Raven Rock67 .. That one is so good. 😎

The joy of older technology, it tends to focus on the wrong things at the wrong time. Then you have the option to turn the auto focus off, then with enough practice you can learn how to make a great video

The way you pronounce "Chewsday Tawks" makes my heart flutter. Every. Time.

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Amazing to see such a long-range synopsis! I encourage my students to record themselves in order to document their stages of development too. I tell them that no one ever has to see it but they will want to see just how far they have come in x weeks/months/years when they do what you have done. Well done on publishing this important document of self development, Mary!

[@frankshailes3205]

Good point. Knowing your past trajectory is a useful guide to where to aim next.

[@easy4x4]

Amazing u have so many recordings! You started singing in tune in 2004 and had an amazing voice by 2007... now you've added so many nuances and layers to your voice as well as range, you are so lovely to listen to 🤩💃👌

[@aft41]

You did right by sharing. You've grown into an excellent performer and an inspiring person. Keep it up!

[@MarySpender]

Thanks so much Andrew!

[@frankthebaldguy9819]

You have clearly always had vocal talent. We began singing around the same year. I love the way you have progressed into the powerhouse (capable of anything) that you currently are.

[@user-po5pk5xm1r]

I love these kind of videos. It is great to see the progression that someone can make over the years. So often on youtube, on stage etc we just see the ‘finished’ product and it can be disheartening to see people with seemingly ‘instant’ talent and think ‘how can i ever get there’, we forget about all the hours of work that goes into this. I think this kind of video can be truly inspirational to those that are trying to improve their skills, to see that even those we admire had to start somewhere. Love your work Mary.

[@stuffnuns]

The result of your perseverance, your voice has gained richness and ease. You’ve grown so much. wow. You’re honesty is disarming, btw.

[@kenschlegel4103]

Mary you have nearly 500,000 subscribers - why because your genuine 😎 Don’t ever be embarrassed by that, you won me over … I love your channel!

[@legoharry100]

Dang, Mary’s been singing as long as I’ve been alive.

[@JoelRossFilms]

Mary, please don’t ever stop doing what you do. You make a difference in this world. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy listening to your music, your insight and bring in your presence.

[@liberatorkramit]

Video in a nutshell. She'll try anything! There is always obvious self improvement. Mary has always been a badass! So great.

[@neilmarsh7437]

generous and honest to see the years of work music takes and fun to watch

[@MarySpender]

I was a little nervous to share it - but thank you :D

[@GScott50]

It shows a lot of courage to put those clips out in public! And it shows we are not just stuck with a one-off voice, we can change. Thanks for sharing.

[@nickd8289]

You came a long way your voice sounds amazing now and a great combo with your unique guitar style. I started singing and playing in bands a long time ago. Now I've been in bands again for the last 10 years or so doing clubs and parties. Recently I've been thinking about doing a solo thing. Its much easier to control the feel and the speed of the songs and really get soulful, closer to the sound I have in my head. I think I'm going to try some solo gigs and see what happens. Thanks for the inspiration, your channel is great and very inspiring.

[@tbeau6663]

That was brave. I think Mary found her authentic and most comfortable voice after 2015. Very nice, ma'am

[@neilbarbu]

You have had a journey with more to come! Thanks for sharing.

[@macpac68]

Mary, The thing I love most about your channel, is you always willing to show the truth in your moments. You are a real artistic creative mind at work. 👏👏👏🎸👍 THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT VIDS😎

[@davidroberts4171]

Thank you for sharing your progress. You have certainly put in the hours and had successes and a few that you probably thought twice about sharing! It is good to see there are still musicians who are prepared to do the groundwork rather than becoming an overnight sensation. Your voice is now beautiful, well done.

[@4himsanctified]

Nice to see you mature so nicely. Its so good to have recordings like this to reflect on ones progress and to provide inspiration (hope) to others.

[@Dutcharmytent]

Mary , you inspired me. Your choice of material is perfect for all us out there. Please keep up these quality videos which take you a lot of time to produce.

Really appreciate this compilation -- as a viewer, I can hear how you've come into your own voice. I can only anticipate your growing career behind your talent.

[@amydpnw]

This was wonderful. What I enjoyed the most is the development of “your” style. I watched the same with Brandie Carlisle. I saw her many times from small coffee shop in Bellingham into what she is. She could sing anything but what made her stand out the most is she found her own way of being her. This video proves the same of you. Keep working on you as you grind away. It’s working very well. I can’t wait to hear more!!

[@paulbrosche523]

[@jasonmccombs8123]

You always had a good voice but the way your tone, control, and emotional connection to the music and the ability to convey it has led you to this point. You are truly one of my favorite vocalists. The excellent guitar playing that you obviously work so hard at to continue evolving and mastering is the cherry on top.

[@lilian896]

[@edwardmedina1236]

You probably won't read this, since this was over two years ago. However, I think you have the perfect voice to do Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. I know you played the guitar for it, but I'd love to hear you sing it.
