I haven't posted in a bit because i haven't been able to wrap my head around all the stuff i want to write about. Thankfully I was given an assignment to help out a friend which might be of interest.
You see my friend has a 14 year niece who play guitar and she wanted music by female guitarists/singers/songwriters and asked me to help. What stuck me as i made this 2 cd bohemouth is that i could have easily made it 8 cds. I like the fact that a young musician ,male or female can see that someone similar to them produced great music in different styles. When I was a kid playing in bands in I can count on one hand how many girls played in the bands we played with (and mostly they sang). Hopefully more people no matter who, will pick up a guitar or a bass. Alright enough of the P.S.A. I will get more into gender and music later.
Well next time I will being writing about Show Tunes/Musical Soundtracks and the Great American Songbook.
Fell free to talk about great female songwriters/musicians that you dig.
Here is the music I gave to a 14 year girl i never met, i hope it blows her mind (and i mean that in the nicest way).
