Was 2020 a good year for you?
Mary Halvorson: Yes and no. What is there to say about 2020? It was an unprecedented year and there was so much pain and sadness in the world. It was tough, but I tried to make the most of it. On a personal level, being still for a moment was important for me, and I got the chance to really slow down and evaluate things, study and practice my instrument.
