True Margrit, False Margrit & Margrit Eichler Ph.D

Did y'all know there are TWO Margrit EIchlers?? Yep! It's true. One is me--Margrit Eichler, songwriter/singer/ pianoplayer & your hostess here on the True Margrit Captain's Log. The other is Margrit Eichler Ph.D-- a Canadian author/ sociologist specializing in gender studies/ feminism at University of Toronto. If you google "Margrit Eichler" you'll in fact get the both of us! This happened recently to a promoter looking for juicy tidbits to add to a blurb about me for a show. The upshot? I was described as a feminist scholar! It was tempting not to correct anyone--it's kinda exhilarating & empowering to be Dr Margrit, but truth is best. If I didn't fess, up I'd be False Margrit, would I not?

For your edification--here's a link with images of both Margrits:

Will the True Margrit please stand up?

Meawhile.

We got excellent news!!! The nice folks at BURNSIDE DISTRIBUTION CORP are going to distribute our upcoming album, THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huzzah!

The album is in fact done--we now only have to :
1) master it ( always master your releases, my friends--it's the icing on the audio cake & god knows what a dreary/ tinny/ and or boomy place the world be without the buttery creamy icing of mastering!)
