Grab Bag

My wife is often commenting that I’m always listening to “boy music” as she changes the CD to Patty Griffin or Sleater-Kinney. True, I do listen to a lot of music where males dominate the vocals, but in my defense I was the one who introduced her to Patty Griffin and Sleater-Kinney. On NMF, I’ve tried to be even handed as I dole out songs - giving equal time to male and female voices. I realized recently that the last few editions have been a little heavy on the testosterone, so I’m going to make up for that today with a grab bag of quality tunes representing the ladies. This one’s for you, Maria.
