MARGIE’S GONE BUGGY LIVE!! Thanks to friend John Lamar, the huge
Henry Carter Hull Library Show on Thursday
night, August 7, 2008 was RECORDED! We
can’t wait to get it out to you-just
have a bunch of post-production stuff
to do! Thanks to all who attended: the
awesome audience, the Campfire Kids and
road manager Claudia Epright who joined
Margie that night, and also Lynn Hidek
and the staff at Hull Library.
Thanks, too, to all the other CT Libraries
who hosted “Margie’s Gone
Buggy” concerts as part of their “Catch
the Reading Bug” summer 2008 programming:
Chester, Moodus, North Branford, Killingworth,

MARGIE’S A HIT AT THE 27TH ANNUAL
STORYTELLING FESTIVAL ON April 25, 2008!
Margie brought the house of approximately
350 attendees down that Friday night.
She opened the annual festivities as
a featured artist for Family Night, hosted
by Connecticut College for the Connecticut
Storytelling Center www.connstorycenter.org
The audience got to hear the back-stories
to 2 songs, (including the songs themselves): “Sock
Monsters”, from “Singin’ Round
the Campfire with Margie” 2005,
and “Turn Out the Lights and Go
to Bed!” from the 2007 “On
the Road with the Fun Family” album.
Margie is currently working on turning “Sock
Monsters” into a children’s
storybook.
Margie’s “Singin’ Round
the Campfire” and “Sock
Monsters”:
both quarter-finalists in the 2006 International Songwriting
Competition!
What wonderful company to be in…After all was
said and done, the ISC received over 15,000 entries
from over 88 countries, and Margie made it into the
quarter-finals (approx. 50 other songs in the Children’s
category). Though not chosen as one of the final
14, it was quite an honor, especially to be in the
same
category as Bill Harley, whose work Margie has admired
for over 15 years. The panel of judges was important;
CEO’s ranging from record companies, Nickelodeon,
Sesame Street, and Music for Little People. Let me
know what song YOU think I should enter next year,
and for more information on the ISC, log on to: http://www.songwritingcompetition.com
2008 Update: The kids voted,
and asked Margie to enter “Sittin’ On
the Barnacles” and “Rocks
in My Socks”, both from the On
the Road with the Fun Family album, into
this year’s competition. Go online
to the competition and put in a good
word. If they have a people’s choice
award, vote! Thanks!
