Mary McCaslin was a folksinger, songwriter and pioneering open-tuning guitarist, who died on October 2, at age 75, following a seven-year battle with progressive supranuclear palsy. Mary was also an old friend who I first met circa 1973, when we both became part of a circle of friends centered around The Barn in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont, then the headquarters of Philo Records. |
