Margaret Hundley Parker

Margaret loves kittens, sunshine, PJ Harvey, the Savages, and Peaches. Margaret began piano lessons at age 5, and with the help of a cool older sister she learned songs like “Locomotive Breath” along with “Fur Elise.” Way back in the ’90s, she was a DJ and music director of WUSB FM, a college radio rep for Caroline Records, and a cocktail waitress at CBGBs, where she enjoyed free beer at shows. She played bass with the indestructible all-girl Speed McQueen, and with the fake French band Purplay Pas at a monthly cabaret on the Lower East Side. When she is not laminating, she edits the dictionary and teaches grammar to college students.
