Alumni news
Molly McGinn, a reporter in High Point a few years back, left us to write for Kindermusik, whose world headquarters I can see looking out my window. But I didn't know that she'd come back into our pages as a singer. In his "Last Call" column on performers at The Green Bean, Patrick Egan says this about her:
Molly McGinn was my Green Bean Idol, though. Her songs and voice occupy that quiet-beauty territory that can seize the noisiest crowd's attention. Something about that smoky near-whisper, pure and without affect, floating over honey-dipped guitar, rang true with the most honest emotion, manifest in the twitching legs she couldn't silence. She's fantastic.
Ahem.
A less direct bloodline to the N&R: Laurelyn Dossett, whose photo accompanies the column, is married to Justin Catanoso of the Biz Journal, who used to work here in the 90s.
