Thanks to Julia Fain for this photo demonstrating that even at soundcheck, the women of SisterSound (Lexington, KY’s Women’s Chorus), have a great Southern sense of Gracious Living. Check out the tulips on the piano! One of my particular pleasures of the last few years has been performing with women’s choruses all over America. It’s been a blast! As I am fond of saying from the stage, I LOVE having the audience on one side of me and thirty + women on the other… it’s a Margie Sandwich! It has truly been a breath-taking experience to sing a song like Wake-up Call with that many voices. And then there is this…Every day I am more convinced that the world wide web is a most unexpectedly brilliant and subversive tool for the on-going dissemination of life-affirming, woman-loving Women’s Music.
Here is a dear message from Leonie in New Zealand…
Wow, Margie, you were there when I was coming out and you’re still here, 21 years later. It’s been a great life so far!! I look forward to updating my vinyl to CD as the funds allow. The Web is allowing those of us far away to ‘see’ some of the women who influenced our lives at critical times. We may never get the chance to see and hear you in concert but it’s great to know we can surf on by at any time and here you are, in our homes, giving a private concert. Thank you for all your hard work – it did make a difference.
