I first heard her singing Paper Wings and Halo<\/span><\/a> on a wintry drive back from Vermont after a Burlington First Night celebration maybe 10 years ago. It was a snowy drive and my Molly was sleeping while I listened in the twilight to Lori on WUMB<\/span><\/a>. It was magical. I was hooked. Her music was a comfort to me back in those days when I was still reeling from my move from Vermont back to the Cape. She helped me feel at home in a place I struggle to feel at home in still.<\/p>\n

I then started following her on UMB, listening to any interviews with her, when gigs were, etc. and was delighted to discover she lived in a town not so very far away from me. I went to see her at First Encounter<\/span><\/a> Coffeehouse in Eastham a couple of times (once when she was very pregnant with her fourth or fifth), the old Sippican Hardware Coffeehouse<\/span><\/a> (long gone now), and finally in Easton at the Blackthorne Tavern<\/span><\/a> for a Sunday morning in May. She was the reason I went to brunch. So I could listen to her. <\/p>\n

That was when I got a chance to chit chat with her and it was when she only had the three kids and was only doing local and regional gigs. I ran into her in a McDonald\u2019s in the Mansfield area when we were both on our way with our kids to a pre-teenybopper Nickelodeon music Stars sort of show at the Tweeter Center. Every once in a while I look her up \u2013 on the net of course \u2013 with 5 kids, a husband and a music career, the woman is busy! \u2013 and was delighted to discover almost two years ago that she had been \u201cdiscovered\u201d beyond our borders. I am looking forward to catching up with her<\/span><\/a> again sometime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
