Fan Shout Outs

Kari - welcome to Margaret & The Crazy Diamonds and a special shout-out to band member Bay Area photog Jane Tyska, a BandsOfTheBay.coms supporter.

---

JT - Margaret was selected as one of 10 featured guitarists of the month in Nov. Guitar Player mag! Here's what ace axe editor Mike Molenda had to say: "Guitarist Margaret Scranton has a delightfully snotty tone and she really knows how to dig into a riff until it dances into your brain. Her short solo at 1:40 cuts into the mix with a soaring bend, says its piece, then shuts up. Nothing in excess here--Bravo!
