Mary Lyons was a great guy. I met Marty in the Woodland String Band when they did Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom Time. Marty was one of the great guys that took me under his wing. He gave me many years of fun and rides home . When I lost my dad at 13 he was just one of the men who were there for me. May he rest in peace and may we some day meet again.
Beautiful sentiments Dennie. Dad was so proud of his mummer days. I love hearing stories like this about him. Hope u are well.
