women who rock

Last night was opening night for the Christmas show. It went okay... not bad, not great.

Before the show I was talking to Karen, who's playing bass. She mentioned something about how when she started playing music, she was the lone girl, always playing with the boys. This was sometime in the 70's. So lots of rock. She said something really cool:

When she started playing her family didn't have a record player, she only heard the music that was on the radio. So she just assumed that men and women were both playing. It wasn't until a few years later when her family got a record player and she started buying albums that she realized the rockers were all men. She was like "where are all the women?"

I thought it was very cool that she related to the music and just figured that women must be involved. Yea for women who rock.
