Music, the sound of the spheres, begins in the womb!
DIVA OR DIE
I SAID A BIT ABOUT THIS IN MY EMAIL, BUT THE SITUATION HERE IS CRITICAL FOR ME. TALENT SHOULD B E THE DECIDING FACTOR WHEN A GIG COMES UP, NOT WHETHER A FEMALE SHOWS HER.........!!!
WE NEED TO COME FURTHER ALONG. WOMEN ARE STILL CLASSIFIED AS "CHICK SINGERS" AND VERY FEW HAVE A LEADER'S ROLE IN A BAND. I HAVE TRIED THIS, AND WAS KICKED OUT OF MY OWN GROUP BECAUSE I REFUSED TO BUY A MACHINE THAT PLAYS WHAT I PLAY LIVE, RECORDED!
tHE WORD "DIVA" HAD A POSITIVE CONNOTATION ALL MY LIFE....BUT SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE RE-INVENTING THE DEFINITION AND FEW WOMEN ARE STANDING UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT!!!!
