Memphis Minnie is the heroine of any serious blues woman even to this day. She was a musical genius who held her own in songwriting, playing and singing through the 30's and 40's. Much has been written about her.
When I first began my music career it was amazing to see a photo of a woman with an acoustic guitar from an era that is overwhelmingly male. The first blues song I ever played on stage some 8 years ago at the Hornby Island Blues Camp was "When The Levee Breaks". I sat on stage with Rick fines accompanying me after a very strong verbal push by Sue Foley to "just get up and do it and quit 'chore whinin' ". Good advice and lucky to receive that kind of support!
MM Rocks,
