Hi,

I think in due time, this will improve and even out ... when we see so many men doing exactly the same thing, my hope is that the women end up showing us something that the men don't do, or can not do yet.

100 years go, there weren't many women that played an instrument, and since then, things have changed tremendously ... but I have an issue, for example, the UCSB Department of Music, in my years there, had no women in their ranks, even as an instructor, which ought to say something about it, 40 years ago, still likely going on today ... gee ... let's look at major universities and how many women are in the ranks? Not many.

Some men even get accolades ... but no one will ever give Laurie Anderson and many other women, some kind of appreciative rank within an educational this or that ... Eno and Wakeman could go on teaching as long as they feel like ... but you think someone like Annie Haslam, or Sonja Kristina, or DAgmar Krause ... will ever get a chance to do likewise? We will be in ashes and eaten by all bugs before that idea ever happens!

It's a disgrace, but it tells you that there are too many men in the arts ... heck, women were not accepted as writers, painters and composers for many years, and there are many stories about writers having to hide, painters that were robbed and taken advantage of, and women composers? .... in classical music I don't even know of one, do you? Actually I know one ... the wife of the Conductor Peter Mark (Virginia Opera Emeritus) had a couple of operas, and he showed them on stage, but even though I have one of the operas, I can not tell you how I feel ... I can't help thinking that the whole thing was touched up by a man's hand, so it would not feel different than the average!

It's not about "prog" ... it's about the arts in general ... and the local crap art store that shows landscapes all done by housewives with the color by number process ... not a good way to help define a new artist ... 

And lastly ... my younger sister lives in Paris. She has an incredible artistic output and has done shows in over 50 locations around Europe ... and what does she have to live for in her 60's? Nothing ... ignored, and not valued anywhere, even by galleries that once showed her work. It's like she has to go back to her living as a teacher of this and that in France, to be able to make a living ... there is, right in your face, the progress of a lot of women in the world of the arts!

It's a disgrace!

Thank you!  As I read this thread, her name came to mind! 

As a prog instrumentalist, I often seek out women instrumentalists in prog.  Many seem to be overlooked.  
As an example, Bassist Sarah Lee was remarkable in Robert Fripp's punk/prog fusion project "League of Gentlemen."  Gail Ann Dorsey played bass with David Bowie, etc.  

I wish there were more examples of female lead guitarists, some of the ones I've seen (Orianthi for example) are brilliant!  

Why not more?  One of life's great mysteries!  If Yes had recruited a woman to replace ailing Jon Anderson, history might have changed.  

I once played bass in a band led by one of Bob Fripp's Guitar Craft students, Alonzo "Lon" Jones, and we always had women musicians around us!  It brought a nice balance and energy to the live performance.

^Their sole album showed great promise - a pity they never had the chance to consolidate on that.

Recent band Ebb are an excellent group of 5 women and 1 man. I saw them live at Nene Valley Rock Fest, and it seemed few people had heard of them; Even the organizer said they weren't performing at first, but someone else dropped out and they 'were the only band to actually complete the sign-up form.'
By the end of their performance, you could feel the impression that they had left on everyone.

They're yet to release anything studio based as far as I know, but they've got some live recordings on their youtube page that I'd recommend to anyone.

Indeed, she's a colossal talent.

Mmmhhh!!!!... I'm not sure how long Georgie, Dagmar & Lindsey were all three together in the band, but that was when the Vevey Concert was filmed 

Only Lindsey remained for Western Culture in 79, though there was Annemarie
