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, Rocky Hill, Farmington, Greenwich, North Haven, Cheshire, Woodbridge, Bloomfield, New Britain, Haddam (largest turn-out at 182 people!), Deep River, and Westport.

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!
