 Mary Cox
Mary is best known for her old time banjo playing. She has
won contests in Florida, North Carolina and Alabama, playing
banjo, mountain dulcimer, and old time string band music.
She is the current winner of the 2nd Annual Tommy Thompson
Memorial Banjo Contest held at the 2004 Florida Folk
Festival, the 2003 Florida Old Time Banjo Champion, and the
2002 Florida Old Time Mountain Dulcimer Champion. Mary and
George Kralick (of Prague) placed third in the old time
string band contest at the Florida Fiddlers Convention last
fall.
Tabs, MP3s, and favorable reviews of her work, have
been published in Banjo Newsletter. Music from Walkin' That
Banjo Home was featured last winter on National Public
Radio's "All Songs Considered." Her CDs are played regularly
online by the old time radio station, Sugar In the Gourd, as
well as Frank P. Hoppes show on KCSN 88.5 in Southern
California. Mary and her husband, Bob are also regular
performers and workshop hosts at the Florida Folk Festival.
