The 3 M's were Mary, Marlin and Marilyn, sophomores at Iowa’s Waldorf College doing smooth adult folk tunes. Emphasis is on vocal harmony, with only minimal acoustic backing from bass, guitar and on rare occasion piano. Includes treatments of ‘Moon Shadow’, ‘One Tin Soldier’, ‘Early In The Morning’, ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Marvelous Toy’, the latter with numerous sound effects courtesy of Marlin’s mouth. Some attractive original songs, including ‘Joy In The Morning’, ‘Lovely Jesu’, ‘Benediction & Lord’s Prayer’ and ‘When I Am Down And Out’, all written by Marilyn. ~ Ken Scott
