Mary Margaret Park

She was in a daze, sick to her stomach—Rose rolled over and buried her head beneath the covers—the afternoon sun kept poking through the blinds, a reminder that productive people didn’t stay in bed all day, a reminder that they got out and worked, and didn’t spend the whole day hiding, afraid to come out. She was starting to hate her husband. She felt like a bird in a gilded cage. She was trapped, and the people looking inward didn’t understand, didn’t care to, as it only upset whatever preconceived notions they held about the life she and Wally were living. Outwardly, they were the perfect suburbanite couple, with 1.7 kids and a two-car garage, but on the inside, they were sick, rotted to the core. The phone rang; its shrill chirp cut through the bedroom door. She should have gone downstairs to answer it. Wally was probably calling to check up on her, but she didn’t want to talk to him. The ringing finally quieted. A Mockingbird’s tune drifted inside. She pulled up out of bed and went to the window; her long blond hair swayed at her petite waist. She had wanted to get her hair cut short but Wally wouldn’t have it. She hopped in the shower, turning the water up so hot that she could barely stand it. When she got out, she realized that she’d forgotten to turn on the exhaust fan; the mirror and windows were completely foggy. She wiped a small section of the window clear and peered outside. The sky had turned gray, and a dismal mist had settled over the backyard. She paused, listening to the low rumble that echoed in the distance—the birds sang no more and the air tethered in unnatural quiet. She resumed brushing her hair, peering closely at the mirror. Was that a gray hair? She was reaching for the tweezers when something tapped against the window. She couldn’t tell if anything was out there, and besides, what could it be? She was on the second floor. She tweezed the Read more [...]

We’ve been unable to make contact with anyone we know in Tokyo (Japan), and given the intensity of the multiple crisis (Tsunami, Nuclear Meltdown) scenarios, we would like to publicly say that “We hope you are safe” and “That we hope your friends and families are safe”. While the reality of the situations cannot be positive, we would like “all of you in Japan” to know that we are extending our hopefulness and positive energies for you, your fellow statesmen, and loved ones.   The media reports around the world are conflicting unfortunately… – – – – – – – – – - Make a $5 Contribution?

Saint Charles, MO (CCHWNN) February 28th, 2011 – The [Chicano Cable Hot Wired News Network] has interviewed Mary Margaret Park for “Donde Voy Estar”, her Tejano (ballroom polka) styled recording, available as a free and paid title, direct from Mary’s website and various others. (The interview, conducted by CCHWNN’s “Santa Cecilia La Que Canta”, is a blast of Chicano humor, layered with the encouragement to keep “La Onda Tejana” strong and forward moving) — Don’t miss out; head on over to [Conjunto Is Life] and read all about it… Make a $5 Contribution?

Music is magical. That’s just how it is, and if anyone tells you otherwise then they “just don’t get it”. You never seem to end up with what your mind initially envisions. You’ll say to yourself, “…a string here, a synthesizer there…..” and 48 drum layers later, you’ll say “…phuuuuuuuuuuuuck, that’s enough”. But then, all of a sudden, you’ll say “wait! Just one more harmony vocal”. What’s happening is that your creativity is being pushed and pulled in every direction possible, and that’s what the “high” is all about. Everything else is just ‘SSDD’. Here is my latest demo: “The World Upside Down” Make a $5 Contribution?

Through the tunnel, the cars slid and skidded, nearing the end light, and outside, the meeker woman waited. She was just the right combination of beauty and buff for the men racing to claim her heart. They would be the proud owner of a woman who would do their every bid and desire, without complaint, without a second thought. She would show them what they came for in this universe, in this place of speed and submission…   Mary Margaret Park’s: Electro-Symphonica, “Submission”          Enjoy the sample, there’s more coming.     Join the Demo-Club now!   – – – – – – – – – - Make a $5 Contribution?
