I think so too. But I don’t consider the RRHoF any measuring stick for talent or greatness.

I’m not a religious person but you are doing the lord’s work here. I feel like I’m getting to audit the “Unsung Women in Music” university course.

Learning about Fanny is awesome alone, but discovering the Beat-Club channel on YouTube is huge.

I also feel the same way about the RRHOF, which in a way is why it's a good shorthand for pointing out the gap between quality and recognition. Thanks for the kudos, I wouldn't do it if I didn't believe in it! Beat-Club is new to me too, but clearly an interesting well to dive into. I have found that European and Asian reporters often appreciate the obscure corners of our musical scene more than we do. There are more jazz and blues clubs in Shanghai or Tokyo than in any five US cities combined.
