I'd like to write about lots of things but the focus will be on being a girl starting out in music in the 70's and other threads around my life story and women in music in general. I also want to do an astrology thread but on a different newsletter.
This happens in many areas where Women are proving to be entertaining and skilful. It happens in sport. Where the back stop from a few Men is that women are not as s strong as men and will always lose in a team or one to one with men. Well talk about missing the point. Entertainment and skill is not always who can hit the strongest hardest serve or hit the ball further or harder.
In music it becomes harder to make out that Men are better. My favourite bands right now. In fact my top four, two are all female bands and the other two have female lead vocalists. It is always sad that some people have to try and make some sort of point to boost their failing ego.
I love tennis and football and cricket and love the female versions. I love music rock, pop, classical and love the female bands and singers and players. Now then all those men who have a problem. Get back to the pub and enjoy the loneliness. Without female participation in rock music. The World would be a much sadder place.
Hey Russell, with you on that, for sure. I can probably guess some of those bands in your top four 😁. At this point, even qualifying them as "female" isn't necessary. A lot of serious musicians are calling Band-Maid, Lovebites and The Warning the best bands in the world in their categories, without qualifying for gender. The discouraging thing to me is not the occasional dude who is an idiot, but the lack of interest by women in these bands. Women justifiably complain that the media don't cover strong female role models, but then ignore the real thing.
I was in that other girl band that toured America.
Wow, I would love to know more!
I'll be posting my first writing at the end of January!
Looking forward to it. Will your focus be music or something else? Or lots of things?

This is exciting! I've been told there are very few people writing about women in music here, and even fewer are actually women!
I'm surprised but have lots to say, and great there's people who may be interested!
