Sorry for the dearth of posts of late… been busy with plenty of different things, including the lovely graduation of my eldest daughter (sniff).

Getting back to business (at least ’round these parts), found this intriguing article by Priscilla Frank and found on HuffingtonPost.com:

One-Album wonder Margo Guryan didn’t fade away.  She escaped.

The article’s title is pretty self-explanatory and involves musician Margo Guryan who, in 1968, released her one and only album, Take a Picture and then dropped off the proverbial face of the Earth, at least with regards to continuing any sort of musical career.

I highly recommend you read the article as Ms. Frank details how she stumbled upon Ms. Guryan, who also released a politically twinged song titled 16 Words in 2007 but only has these two musical works out there to be listened to.

Ms. Frank would eventually get in touch with Ms. Guryan, who is now 80 years old, and find out why she dropped out of the music scene.

Her lone full album is considered by many to be among the best “one-album wonders” ever released and several critics have noted the album sounds like the Beach Boys’ music of that same era.  Mighty high praise indeed!

So check the article out, its quite fascinating!
