about
For a generation of teenagers in Lincoln, Nebraska, torturing Mary Partington became a rite of passage. Everyone wanted to get a rise out of the spooky old woman in the weird, dark house. They threw stones, shattered windows, broke in, stole, vandalized, or destroyed property. Mary's walls were riddled with bullet holes. She was tied up in her own home. She was even shot.
Mary was a teacher, a volunteer, a goat farmer, a daughter, a sister, a neighbor, a philanthropist, and a kind woman. A fighter. A survivor.
Joe, who composed this song for Weissenborn, and rest of the band dedicate this song to Mary Ann Partington on the day after her 135th birthday.
