Some people are just too good for the world. They smile constantly, never show a bitter emotion, always have time to listen to someone else’s problems, always make an effort to be cordial and always want others to be as happy as them. To most of us, people like this can be quite an annoyance. Why is that?

I wasn’t going to review the wonderful new French film Tell No One this week because I didn’t think it would still be playing next week.

Throughout this interview were 5 people constantly playing music. I’d ask a question. Contemplation. The silence would be interrupted by a contemplative melody on a banjo or guitar. In the 2 hours we had the pleasure of listening to these guys, they displayed the kind of energy you only see in [...]
These guys came into our kitchen and played so many songs and told so many stories we couldn’t fit it all into one piece. Plus, the world of warcraft addiction was too good to skip.

Born in Dodge City, Kansas with a penchant for using her slingshot on old companions, Molly McGinn now lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. After a brief respite from singing she has returned with a vengeance. You may recognize her from Triad Stage’s production of Black Beard or as a co-worker at the King’s [...]
Molly wrote 2 songs. Here’s the 2nd one. We don’t normally do multiple postings but these chansons from this chanteuse were so good we couldn’t resist. This one will be played at the Greensboro Urban Ministry sometime very soon.
