mrsbrown When you go to a music festival you expect to listen to a lot of music and I have experienced enough of them to appreciate the way your mind and thinking processes change as a result. I love that feeling and I'd like to have it for as long as possible please. I'll need to feed it by seeing more live shows and probably playing some music too.
The bit I didn't expect was so strongly identifying with the older women performing.
It's really powerful hearing the stories these women tell about their musical journey and their casual dropping mention of their grandchildren or their difficult childhood, or taking up music later in their life. If you can't see it, you don't dream it.
And that's why I was crying in the Gina Williams concert this morning.[1]
Anyway, I'm going to start a band called Gratuitous Advice" and I'm going to sing grandmother advice in a blues style.
[1] also empathy overdose, also having some shit I'm dealing with, also, as Sneetch observed, estrogens poisoning like at least 4 other older women there.
