Most of our stories about cult musicians who make an album or two and then seem to vanish are framed by grief, despair, and frayed ambition. Not so with Margo Guryan, an ardent jazz anomaly who disdained pop music until hearing “God Only Knows” in 1966, opening a window onto the wonders that form could contain. Only two years later, she released her own set of little pop symphonies, Take a Picture, to great praise and expectation. But, having already divorced the hard-gigging valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, she declined to tour or even talk about it all that much, content even if her reticence meant Take a Picture was soon consigned to discount racks and cutout bins. She wrote and recorded for years to come, even collaborating with Neil Diamond’s band, but mostly she seemed satisfied by her relatively private life.

As befits music so stunning and subtle, Guryan, who died in 2021, has enjoyed several renaissances during the last six decades. And now, it’s happening again: Soon after her near-whispered and lovelorn hymn “Why Do I Cry” made her a TikTok star in 2021, the same year she passed, Numero Group launched a reissue campaign, resulting in the acclaimed 2024 set, Words and Music. And now, a dozen artists—none of whom were born when Take a Picture was made, most of whom weren’t even born for a crucial early reissue by Franklin Castle—have reinterpreted and reimagined that entire album (plus one bonus track) for Like Someone I Know: A Celebration of Margo Guryan. Empress Of, Margo Price, Clairo, June McDoom: They all affirm Guryan’s sharpness as a songwriter and the brilliance of an album that has far outstripped whatever promotional cycle Guryan rejected so long ago.

Guryan was born to a sprawling family in Far Rockaway, when the place was still mostly framed by trees. While a composition student at Boston University, Guryan stumbled into a gig playing piano between Miles Davis Quintet sets, signed a songwriting deal with Atlantic Records, and botched a session with Nesuhi Ertegun. But she wasn’t looking to be a singing star. In 1959, she headed to the Lenox School of Jazz in the Berkshires to write for Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, earn the attention of instructor Max Roach, and find a longtime mentor and friend in Gunther Schuller. She became an accomplished lyricist, writing not only for Coleman and Nancy Harrow but also for Harry Belafonte and Gary MacFarland.

But it was that subsequent encounter with the Beach Boys that opened the trap door for Guryan to Take a Picture and scores of other super songs, many of which appear on Words and Music. Take a Picture is a sophisticated survey of mid-20s romance and indecision, from the flirty romp of “Sunday Morning” and falling-for-you affirmation “Can You Tell” to the desperate helplessness of “What Can I Give You.” Her perpetually soft voice, audacious songcraft, and complete candor: Guryan, in 1968 and beyond, was making daring music, no matter how gently those sounds seemed to move.

With a portion of proceeds being donated to providing and advocating for affordable reproductive health services, Like Someone I Know reinforces the strength of Guryan’s songs by allowing a dozen different artists to take them for trips of their own. The core always remains, unwavering. McDoom stretches static and harmony beneath “Thoughts,” as if they’re spinning on a dub plate beneath her arcing vocals. Rahill lets “Sun” unfurl over harmonium drone and entrancing percussive ticks, digging into Guryan’s interest in the surreal. Frankie Cosmos and Good Morning take a country shuffle through “Take a Picture,” entwined vocals falling over the rhythmic skips with perfect romantic relish. Over the last few decades, it has become increasingly clear just how good Guryan was, how sturdy her songs have been amid varying tides of taste. Like Someone I Know offers absolute validation, a testament to the enduring relevance and brilliance of Guryan's work.

Great sudsy soap
I've been trying several all natural cleaning products and this is my favorite dish soap so far. Other all natural brands do not make near as many sides as this stuff. I compare the studs with this to what you get with Dawn, without all the harsh chemicals

Aroma Therapy During Dishwashing?
"So, once again, I was on the hunt for an effective and pleasant dishwashing product. The task became more challenging because it needed to not only clean well but also smell nice, and ideally, create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen. In the end, I decided to try Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. According to the manufacturer’s claims, this product is completely safe not only for health but also for the environment, as it is biodegradable, along with the packaging components. The packaging itself doesn’t say much—it’s the usual 16 ounces, though it’s sold in a pack of three bottles. The product is marketed as suitable for people who prefer natural products because it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals. I can honestly say that the product met all my expectations. The first thing you notice when you open the bottle is the amazing scent that literally fills your kitchen with the freshness and fragrance of Verbena. Since we wash dishes with hot water, it’s not just a scent, but a real aromatherapy experience during dishwashing. As for its effectiveness, this dish soap works great, dealing with grease, food remnants, and even burnt pans. Additionally, it foams up well, so there’s no need to use a lot of it. Now I actually enjoy washing dishes! The only downside is that the product does run out fairly quickly, especially when you have a large family and a lot of dishes. Of course, this isn’t really a flaw of the product itself, but considering it isn’t very cheap, I would have liked it to last longer or for the price to be a bit lower. Anyway, I’m completely satisfied. Mrs. Meyer’s has become my reliable kitchen helper, without harming the environment."

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!
First of all - RUN, DON’T Walk & get this. IT WORKS!!! I kid you NOT, that I can literally feel sprouts of hair growing out of the roots of my head! After washing my hair And drying it, I part my hair into several sections and gently massage it into my scalp. After at least a day or so, I can feel the tickle in my scalp, it feels like grass slowly growing. I have plenty of hair, but I would love to actually see this product used on someone who doesn’t have hair like me. I am using the product because of a thinning spot that I have from a sew-in that I have had multiple times, and getting it parted in the same area for over a period of time. You can Not beat this product, especially for the price.

Don't not purchase!!!!
Color: A
This is product has over ingredients, its made in China and the shelf life is 3 years! No naturall product has a shelf life of a 3 years or any storing instructions. Just an FYI when buying any product, the ingredient that's the most in the product is the first on this list of ingredients WATER is the first, Batana Oil is second to the last. the packaging say 100%, 100% what? Its truely not Batana Oil. I am sending this back ASAP and working on my own mix for my hair growth. I am dealing with scared alopecia and have been searching for things to help with my hair growth. I am tried of companies thinking they will take my money. I was not able to see the ingredients until I recieved the package, which is not a terriable way to sell a product.

We love this stuff
Color: A, Color: A
My baby had an infection in his hair that he got once he started daycare. We tried everything to kill the fungus. It got so bad I had to take him to the doctor and they finally gave him some antibiotics and medicated shampoo. His head was so sore and tinder he didn’t want anyone to touch his head. So imagine trying to wash his hair everyday. The shampoo killed the fugus and took his hair out where it was. I purchased this product. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!! We’ve been using it a few weeks and we definitely see a difference. P.S I went and purchased the whole set
