Thread Name: Mary Benson had a stroke (Sept. 2007)
Subject: RE: Mary Benson had a stroke
Folks, if you have not had the chance to hear Mary sing, you are missing an awesome experience. I do hope some of Mary's recordings are available. In fact, I hope some might be available for sale, not only to expose more people to her wonderful music but to help her out financially too.

I wanted so much to help out this past weekend with the moving and all, but my travelling schedule would not permit that.   I'm glad to know the Portland folk music community is pitching in, and, David, thank heavens for their tough negotiating skills.   If there's anything I can do from out of town, mg and Barbara, please let me know, or keep me posted about what's needed when I get back home.

Mary has been through incredible struggles and has a spirit as amazing as her voice.   I hope she will come through this stronger than ever and I believe she can.
