WHO IS MARY JANE?

Miriam Zadik Gold has been exploring this question since she sat down to knit her daughter a pair of 'Mary Jane's'. Who is Mary Jane and why does she appear in so many songs? 
Miriam has made six scenes where you can meet Mary Jane, complete with MP3 players for you to listen to the appropriate  song.
Our friend Polly describes the show very well on Amelia's Magazine site.
Please come for a Mary Jane drink between 6.30-9pm tonight where you can groove to the play list atatched below.
