That is an excellent idea though, I would love to see more women being active musicians, because talent and ambition and soul, these things know no gender, but I can't help but think that women get looked at as either a radical feminist act when people see all women in a band or that they are relegated to pop music where they remain victims of objectification. Whoah, that was almost deep!

Either way, the effort is laudable, but why not get a band together spread the word to other women interested in picking up instruments- even if they aren't in your bands, up and coming bands desperately need the support of musical colleagues and what better way for a local phenomenon to start? If you were in my area I'd say get some people together and next time we play, we could split a bill with ya!

To me that's the key to being a musician- you want to succeed, but music is a community effort- the true musicians are not the egos who care about how much face time they get to play pentatonic scales and modal inversions in front of a crowd that doesn't know what a mode is, but people who want to make noise (hopefully one that is good), have fun and make people glad they came to see ya. We walk a fine line between entertainers and educators, ambient background to a night out and artists. I think the answer is in the middle of all that.

time for more coffee (I have a total caffeine problem!)
