Womyn Making Waves

(06-16) 18:33 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Cheers filled San Francisco's City Hall shortly after 5 p.m. as longtime lesbian activists Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, partners for more than 50 years, began their second wedding - and their first legal union.

Mayor Gavin Newsom, who officiated the ceremony in the reception area of his office, said it was a fitting way to memorialize last month's state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in California, which took effect at 5:01 p.m.

Lyon, 83, and Martin, 87, were the first couple married four years ago when Newsom told the county clerk's office to start offering marriage certificates to same-sex couple

Lyon and Martin have been lesbian together as partners since the 1950's and are the founders of the lesbian group Daughters of Bilitis.

Due to a lightning incident, WEFT is off the air until probably Tuesday so there will be no WMW on Sunday June 1. Tune in on June 8 for more womyn's music and music by women.

Last Friday night was the WEFT Volunteer Appreciation Party and it was great. Many wefties attended. The committee provided pizza and beverages and the volunteers (who else) brought dessert. Great fun was had by all...I recommend WEFT volunteering as a source of inspiration and amusement.

We got a preview of the new front studio (it's not quite ready yet) and it is going to totally rock. I'm going to feel like I'm on the bridge of the Enterprise when I sit at the console.

Personal note: I did WMW yesterday from my laptop. I did mostly okay...we were even able to transition from my laptop to the host of "Journey: Music of Greece"'s laptop with scarcely a break. YAY, me!

Two thrillers on DVD from Spain:The Orphanage is a carefully paced supernatural thriller about a mother who returns to her childhood orphanage to open a home for the disabled. But, her son mysteriously goes missing and mom insists his imaginary playmates had something to do with it. The heart of the movie lies in Laura’s performance, who is grief-stricken and guilt ridden about innocent mistakes from childhood where eerie clues may lead her toward finding her boy. Creepy and moving.
The Devil's Backbone is a major league fear inducing tale with political and allegorical meanings. A boy ghost, an impotent caretaker, his peg legged co-administrator, and an evil gardener will spook you with repeated jolts and unsettled feelings. Will the orphans ever be safe from the evil forces within the orphanage? How about that un-detonated bomb in the garden? Guillermo Dell Toro of "Pan's Labyrinth" offers up a winner from several years back.
Forget chainsaws and gimmicky evil tricksters, these two are the real deal!Recommendations for reviews always welcome.connie

CANVAS (a free screening at the Virginia on 4-27 at 4:30)Also an Ebertfest choice, CANVAS looks in on a family dealing with the mother's schizophrenia where a normal home life is impossible because of it. The son is teased at school, the Dad has no emotional support system, and the unstable mom is hospitalized. The family portrays a down to earth slice of reality; the ending is a bit too upbeat to mirror reality, but it's a solid little film about how a family and the world deal with mental illness.
FOUR MONTHS, THREE WEEKS, AND TWO DAYS (at the Boardman)a tough movie watching experience that directly deals with the abortion topic. Unlike American directors who insist upon happy endings when an unexpected pregnancy surfaces (Juno, Knocked Up, Waitress), this Romanian film takes it on in an unflinching manner- haunting and aesthetically powerful. Won many international awards (Cannes, etc.) but totally shunned by our "wonderful" Oscar Committee. Go figure.

Jeff Price, who started his own record label in 1991 when he was in high school and is now the CEO of TuneCore, just posted this article to the Huffington Post. He talks about the way it's changed, the marketing of music, that is.

For the past century, artists could record, manufacture, market, and, to some degree, promote their own music, but no matter if they were The Beatles, Elvis or Led Zepplin, they could not distribute it and get in placed on the shelves of the stores across the country; the required costs and infrastructure of the physical world were just too massive -- a 500,00 square foot warehouse staffed with 30 people, trucks and inventory systems, insurance, a field staff of 30 people walking to music stores leveraging, begging, pleading and paying to get the CD, album, 8-track, wax spool, etc., on the precious shelves of the retail stores -- and checking up afterwards. Distribution was out of the hands of any one person, no matter how dedicated or wealthy. Without the music available to buy, there was no way for it to sell.

Record labels made artists famous and made money off that fame by selling the music -- without the music available to buy, there was no way for it to sell. The record labels exclusively had the relationships with the distributors (and in the case of the "four major record labels" the same company owns both). Therefore, with only one means to the desired end, the goal for many artists was to get "signed" to a label.

Record labels were in a very unique position of power due to their exclusive access to distribution, they were not only the singular gatekeepers to a career for an artist by "signing" them to an exclusive contract, but they were also the subjective "deciders" as to what music was pushed out and promoted to the media outlets. With a "signing," the labels acquired exclusive rights to and from the artist. In return, the label advanced money while providing the relationships, expertise and infrastructure to record, manufacture, market, promote, distribute and sell the music. Of all the artists and music creators in the world, far less than 1% got chosen by the labels due to the risks and economics of the "brick and mortar" world. Of all the music created around the globe, even less has had the opportunity to be discovered and heard by the masses.

And then the world changed thanks to the Internet and digital media.......

As i read the article I realized even more strongly just how important it is for our listener supported, volunteer operated radio station to implement our digital music library as soon as we possibly can.

Womyn Making Waves 3/2/2008 In Celebration of Women’s History Month

In 1975, Bruce Springsteen released his breakthrough album, Born to Run. Donna Summer went to the top of her charts with the steamy disco classic “Love to Love You Baby.” David Bowie’s funky meditation on “Fame” went to number one. And the fledgling Olivia Records released their second full-length album, Cris Williamson’s The Changer and the Changed.

The Changer and the Changed was also produced entirely by women, from co-producers Margie Adam and Meg Christian (famous for her song “Ode to a Gym Teacher”) to assistant engineer Judy Dlugacz, now president of Olivia Travel, Inc. A 1975 review of the album in the feminist magazine Off Our Backs praised the album’s all-woman production, stating, “More than 40 women (and furred and feathered friends) are credited with assistance; the faces of those pictured on the inside jacket are a welcome sight when so many other women musicians are parading their stuff before all-male bands.” (afterellen.com-May 2005, Malinda Lo)

Song of the Soul was also the name of the show that I did on WEFT from 1986-1991. It was on in a couple of different places on the grid, but it was mostly on from 6-8 on Saturday morning, where it was known as “the other women’s music show on WEFT.”

Alix Dobkin's album Lavender Jane Loves Women (Women's Wax Works, 1973) was one of the first women’s music cd’s, even before Meg and Cris.

Chicago’s Minnie Riperton sings Joni Mitchell’s “Woman of Heart and Mind” from the 1972 album “For the Roses”

Lesbian Concentrate, from Olivia Records is a wonderful compilation album. The cover has an orange juice can with the title, Lesbian Concentrate: A Lesbianthology of Songs and Poems 100% Undiluted. It was the women communities response to Anita Bryant Florida Orange Juice Growers Association spokesperson and leader of the Save Our Children Campaign. Special thanks go to Alex who helped me by transferring the music from vinyl to digital.

Marie is based on a true story

The Duras Sisters are a Phoenix based filk trio.

No women’s music show would be complete without chocolate or the Motherfolkers.




Deborah Holland’s “The Panic Is On: Songs From the Great Depression” grew out of a project Deborah completed for her masters thesis at Cal State-LA. In the 1980's she was co-founder of the pop trio Animal Logic with ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeland and virtuoso bassist Stanley Clarke.

Elizabeth Cook has, in the country vernacular, Balls. Nanci Griffith compared her to Loretta Lynn, and I got this album just so I could play this song on Womyn Making Waves.

“If You Were a Woman” Bonnie Tyler. Written by Desmond Tyler and produced by Jim Steinman

“If you love a Hippopotamus” by Heather Bishop isn’t classic women’s music, but I found it at http://www.ladyslipper.org (Ladyslipper Catalog –for women’s music) and I have always loved it. “Did Jesus Have a Baby Sister” (lyrics by Dory Previn) just seemed to fit.

Holly Near’s “Imagine My Surprise” is another one of the classic lesbian love songs. Near was probably the first woman artist to start an independent record company when in 1972 she founded Redwood Records which became a major force in alternative music for nearly 20 years. She is a force for social change.

Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” spoke to me before I ever knew she was gay. “Society’s Child” was her first hit, a song about another (at the time) unacceptable kind of love.


The Equal Rights Amendment:
Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

In the 110th Congress (2007 - 2008), the Equal Rights Amendment has been introduced as S.J. Res. 10 (Sen. Edward Kennedy, MA, lead sponsor) and H.J. Res. 40 (Rep. Carolyn Maloney, NY, lead sponsor). These bills impose no deadline on the ratification process in their proposing clauses.

Loretta Lynn might not look much like a feminist but she had more banned songs than any other artist in the history of country music, including "Rated X," about the double standards divorced women face, "Wings Upon Your Horns," about the loss of teenage virginity, and "The Pill," lyrics by T. D. Bayless, about a wife and mother becoming liberated via the birth control pill. Her song "Dear Uncle Sam," released in 1966, was an early protest of the Vietnam War, and was added to live sets during the current Iraq War.

Meg Christian is another one of the founding mothers of Olivia records. The first show I ever heard on WEFT was Womyn Making Waves and one of the first songs I heard was “Ode to a Gym Teacher” (my response…you can’t have music like that on the radio. Fortunately I was wrong.)

Melissa…Brave and Crazy…what more needs to be said.

I first heard Kristen Lems singing Peggy Seeger’s “I’m Gonna Be an Engineer” I saw Ms. Seeger sing it at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival a long time ago. From Threescore and Ten (the album to celebrate Peggy’s 70th birthday.

If I could take all my parts with me when I go somewhere, and not have to say to one of them, "No, you stay home tonight, you won't be welcome," because I'm going to an all-white party where I can be gay, but not Black. Or I'm going to a Black poetry reading, and half the poets are antihomosexual, or thousands of situations where something of what I am cannot come with me. The day all the different parts of me can come along, we would have what I would call a revolution.

Tribe 8 was an all-women outspoken dyke punk band from San Francisco, California. Considered one of the first queercore groups.

I Am Woman by Helen Reddy Released: 1972 Australian Ray Burton co-wrote the song with Helen Reddy. Burton's contribution was writing the music to go with Helen Reddy's lyrics and editing her lyrics to fit his musical structure.

"I first wrote the song in August 1970," explained Burton. "It was first released by Capitol Records in late 1970 as an album track on Helen Reddy's first album. It was what they call a 'sleeper' in the music industry. In other words, it sat on the album doing nothing for 2 years and then as the women's liberation movement gathered momentum, Capitol Records released it as a single. The women's liberation movement then adopted it as their anthem and the rest is history."

Rory Block (born Aurora Block, November 6, 1949,[1] Princeton, New Jersey) is an American female blues guitarist and singer, a notable exponent of the country blues style

Sue Keller sings “Wild Women Don’t Sing the Blues” by Ida Cox.

“Sometimes It’s a Bitch”:
Jon Bon Jovi wrote this for Nicks and sang it with her. In the liner notes to her TimeSpace album, Nicks said: "When I first heard this song, I really did not quite understand what Jon was trying to say, but over the 2 weeks that we sang it together (at my mike), I started to realize that Jon, without knowing it, had sort of taken a time machine back 18 years and watched my life, the good parts and the bad. It was not a love song, which of course, I had expected it to be; it was much more than that to me. Bon Jovi had picked up on the fact, before meeting me, that there was no way he could know what I had lived through without having lived through it with me, so he dreamed. He dreamed about what the notorious Stevie Nicks had been like and what it had all done to her... the indulgences, the lifestyle. I felt that if he knew nothing else about me, he knew I had a strong instinct to survive. Someday, maybe all the people who did not go through this with us will understand; that considering the generation we come from, we are very lucky to be alive."

Seanan McGuire is a California filker who knows that goddesses are just like the rest of us.

From "Images of Women," by Robin Greenstein a look at women's lives thru traditional Anglo and Afro-American folk songs, as well as family and children's programs “Wish I was a Single Girl Again.”

Nanci Caroline Griffith, (born July 6, 1953 in Seguin, Texas) is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter from Austin, Texas. Her career has spanned a variety of musical genres, predominantly country, folk, and what she terms "folkabilly." Griffith won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1994 for her recording, Other Voices, Other Rooms. Griffith is a survivor of breast cancer which was diagnosed in 1996, and thyroid cancer in 1998.

Nanci's dear friend Mary Margaret, inspiration for There's A Light Beyond These Woods (Mary Margaret), passed away last week., and her memorial services were held yesterday.
