Subject: [JP] Hungrytown on WUMB (and in Boston tomorrow)

I was fortunate to be able to tune in to Hungrytown's in-studio  appearance 
on WUMB at 12 noon today, where Rebecca and Ken talked  about songwriting and 
played four songs, "Rose or the Briar," "Hungrytown Road,"  "Lucille Lucille," 
and "One Morning in May."  They even asked the listeners  out there in 
radio-land to sing along with their first song, since it is a  singalong, and I 
gladly obliged.
 
I was reminded though of how sorry I am that I missed the Strangelings  when 
they appeared on WUMB in December before their show at Passim.   Hungrytown's 
interviewer, DJ Dave Palmater (no relation, although I have a  brother named 
Dave Palmatier) seemed to indicate that R&K had been in the  studio for that 
December Strangelings appearance, which if true, strikes me as  odd, since R&K 
did not take part in that December Strangelings show at  Passim, since they had 
a conflict that night -- Meredith Thompson played  at that show instead.
 
Of course, surefire confirmation would come from hearing that broadcast of  
the Strangelings on WUMB in December!   :-) 
 
This time at WUMB, Rebecca & Ken were promoting their show tomorrow at  the 
Notlob Parlor Concerts series at the Loring-Greenough House, 12 South  Street, 
Jamaica Plain, MA, at 7:30, with Molly Pinto-Madigan (of Jaded Mandolin)  
opening.
 
I'm actually excited to be seeing Molly Pinto-Madigan, since I got the  Jaded 
Mandolin CD last summer at Falcon Ridge.  She has a voice as fresh as  all 
outdoors, like a mountain stream or a morning sunrise, and I think she'll  
complement Hungrytown's "retro-folk" style very nicely indeed.
 
I was impressed by Molly's Jaded Mandolin bandmate, Eric McDonald, when he  
played at Notlob's Dave Carter Tribute last August, also at the  
Loring-Greenough House, along with Chris Thompson Lively, Adam Sweeney, Beth  DeSombre, Ryan 
Fitzsimmons, and Dana Price.  But I've never seen  Molly!
 
And as for Hungrytown, I've been looking forward to this Notlob show for  
months, the first time R&K have played the Boston area since Ken's Birthday  Bash 
the first week in January.
