I met Mary while in Maine with Daisy Martinez - who was holding a cooking class on Whitehead Light Station. From the moment I first saw her - I knew I was supposed to meet her - she had the most familiar face - and her hair and eyebrows were FIERCE.

She was shy, very guarded and seemed scared of me. Usually this would trigger some complex for me to torture myself with….

One day, she was looking out the window and I decided to take her picture, when I reviewed my photos - I saw that she was smirking. SOLD.

From here, I took a pictures of her everyday in a variety of t shirts with slogans on them. But it wasn’t until we all got by the fire on the last day that I felt like I was getting to know her. She was gonna let me in - but she was watching me.

Social Networking allowed me to keep up with Mary, so one day I invited her over for a chat. In this first video, Mary talks to me about friendship, betrayal, faith, hope, freedom, death, Bon Jovi, ghosts, and more.

In 2003, Casey Stratton recorded “Standing At The Edge” with legendary producer Patrick Leonard (Madonna, Jewel, Elton John) for Sony Records. The album was a stunning, moody collection of songs that highlighted Casey’s razor sharp song writing skills.

A series of disagreements over the promotion of his first major label record led Casey to cut ties with Sony and forge a future as a fully independent musician. Since then, he has continued to release new material and form an intimate connection with his fan base.

In this video, we discuss his musical roots, the perils of the major label system, balancing life as a Libra, the misconceptions most people have about what it means to be an artist, the realities he faces as an independent musician and the stories behind some of his songs.
