Do y'all do #MusicWomenWednesday here on the Wafrns? I feel like it's mostly a Mastodon thing, not even Bluesky, but I really don't need an excuse to talk about my favorite lady musicians…

1) Jennifer Rannells - "Distance"
I discovered & fell in love with this album (released in 2002) as a young teen back when you could still discover music on CDBaby by searching for "influences" and "sounds like" and such (the same feature I miss from MySpace!) and it's really one of my most enduring best-loved albums. I just adore the flowing, intricate piano and her lyrics are insidiously evocative and her voice is enchanting.

2) "Obligatory" self-promo… 🤪 ("Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" from O Brother Where Art Thou?)
Recorded this with the assistance of my trusty TC-Helicon VoiceLive Touch. There's only two vocal tracks; the harmonies are all generated electronically in real time as I'm singing.
(Check out my other tracks on SoundCloud, too! 💖)

I #remember watching this #AnitaMui #debut in early 80s! Gathered with my parents, brothers, cousins, aunts & uncles at my Grandparents home. They had the biggest TV back then. I was mesmerized by Anita; cheered for her to win the new #talent competition & became an instant fan.

An old post with a little tune to brighten the mood and distract me from the snow.

It didn't seem like Mastodon was video-friendly so apologies if you hate to go to Instagram.
