This website is dedicated to my
sweet niece Holly, who I swear is my favorite niece, even though she is
my only niece. If I had a thousand nieces to choose from she would still
be numero uno! The idea to do this website came to me when I sent Holly
some sound clips of me playing and singing in some bands while I was
living in Austin Texas and she discovered Phoebe Snow who she really
liked! I don't think she had heard her before, but I do a couple of her
songs on the cd I sent her and she went on to learn about her and
downloaded a bunch of her songs and even learned to sing some herself.
So, I got to thinking, maybe I should share all my favorite ladies of
the blues, in hopes I could share even more of my favorite lady blues
singers with her, and so here it is, for her to enjoy and I hope learn,
grow and prosper from my experiences in the blues.
My selections here are varied, from
a very popular Bonnie Raitt to a very obscure Lil' Green but each and
everyone of them are near and dear to my heart! That, I think, is the
most important thing. Some play guitar and some write music, but all of
them sing with a conviction that makes my heart soar! I have selected,
carefully, some of my very favorite songs by each artist and it is by no
means a complete selection of my favorite blues ladies and perhaps I
will have to make a volume 2 next year!
