3. Once I was looking at sound boards in a pawn shop...

...and no one would help me. I walked over to the jewelry and 3 sales people jumped on me within 5 seconds. I had to drag one of them over to the music stuff from there.

Sigh.

4. I think Jewel screwed it up for all women.

No one wants to give women musical instruments anymore, out of fear of what they will do with them. :evilgrin:

Just kidding. :ducks:

5. today

we invited a girl who plays viola to our band practice today...sounded good!

6. Viola is always nice.

But I have a real problem with bands who have the token female member (being a keyboardist, I'm used to being the token keyboardist). For instance: Gregor Samsa. Token female keyboard player (of course she's the spitting image of Winona Ryder, so definitely easy on the eyes).

But viola is cool. Just don't take her for granted, damn it!

[rbnyc]

9. LOL

Not a Jewel fan myself. I think that's pretty funny.

17. I remember seeing Jewel singing

"Silent Night" a cappella. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

7. Bodalicious babe!

Jeez, I cannot remember where that phrase came from...a movie?

[rbnyc]

10. Hey babe!

:hi:

You've got one bodalicious voice too.

:loveya:

12. Eeeep! Girl Musicians! Ick!

Kidding, ladies! I like everyone who can play.

Now, i you can't play, all bets are off, but then gender doesn't matter. Those who can't play none, can't play none. How many "x" chromosomes one has is irrelevant.

Just thought i would stir the pot a bit with my title. You all know me well enough to know i'm messin'.

Just don't tell susang what i said about "singers". (Hee Hee)

I thought it was another post from a guitar player

[Pepperbelly]

15. If the electric guitar had been invented ...

Mozart would have played it.

Guaranteed.

14. The best fiddlers in Ireland are women.

They will kick your ass back to the wagon--and make you like it!

16. Yo, but I'm "only" a vocalist. :) n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

18. You're a musician as well as a writer?

Damn, are you cool. rbbaby will be able to brag.

[Angry Girl]

19. I'm a woman! (and I can't stand Chewel...)

Hi! :hi:
I'm with Nightweed (http://www.nightweed.com) and we don't lip-synch or use pitch correction! (and I play the drums)

[MamaBear]

20. One more.

I'm a bass player; I occasionally figure out how to fit the vocal around the bass line. Trying to get some guitar licks back. I'm just in it for the ... fun. :loveya:

I saw Jewel open for Neil Young at Madison Square Garden when she was just starting out. I thought she played her heart out but the acoustics in there are not kind to female voices. :shrug:

(Edited to fix a smiley)

[no name no slogan]

21. I've been told I am a guurly-man

I hate most sports, most "hard rock" music and musicians, don't drink crappy beer, and loathe sportsbars and Hooters, not to mention strip clubs. I am also mechanically inept when it comes to cars, but can hold my own with a soldering iron and a patchbay.

Furthermore, while I may have sported a mini-mullet in the mid-1980s, I was only a teenager and didn't know better. Also, I've never owned a pair of Zubaz or worn a wifebeater in a public place. Additionally, I have never had a "Calvin peeing" sticker on the back of my car for ANY reason.

Oh, and I'm also a musician, in order: vocalist, guitarist, guitar-synthesist, synth-player/programmer, bassist, saxophonist, latin percussionist and drummer (if I've had enough to drink).

However, I would KILL to find a female vocalist/guitarist who isn't into the riotgrrl thing, but can sing like a cross between Liz Fraser, Carly Simon, Petula Clark and Lisa Gerrard.

If you're in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and looking for a band, let me know.

22. I've got your ovaries right here

I pick git-fiddle and sing a bit.

Nothing specktacilar but I get free moonshine and chicken wings sometimes.

23. I'm here, I just don't post much

I've been lurking though. :hi:
