MARY LOU LORD

I begain my career as a professional musican of sorts by accident really. Playing music in streets and subways for many years, getting better at it, and always being a fan of great songs and the people who made them up being first and foremost.*************************************************** ************************************************************ *********Being in the right place at the right time helped my career along I guess, but I did most of the footwork myself without ever having to rely on promises from record companies. My music was mostly heard over the years in "real time"...I made a living not by record sales, but by live performances. It was done ONE SONG AT A TIME, mainly at the Park st T station. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********I am proud knowing that I have hopefully contributed in inspiring other's to pick up guitars and begin to sing. My music is simple, honest, and although I don't write tons of my own songs, I hopefully have done justice in keeping songs alive and "active". Joni Mitchell says that songs are like children. I feel like I have been a pretty good "foster parent" to some beautiful songs that have given me SO MUCH back. I owe my life to these beautiful little songs and the people who made them.
