    As I age my memory loss is getting to be troubling. That said, how could I forget 

    TEENA MARIE.....the Lady T. 

    What a voice she had, another female artist I had a crush on. I saw her when she opened for Rick James in Hampton VA. She was fantastic and joined Rick later in the show to sing one of favs done together called....l'm Just A Sucker For Your Love.

    I'm sad to admit I haven't seen that many.

    I did see Hole co-headline with Marilyn Manson on the celebrity skin tour.   It was a pretty grunge crowd, and hole mopped the floor with Marilyn Manson.  They were pretty damn good.  

    There was also this girl that opening for Chris Cornell a few years ago.  Plays under the name Hemming.  Usually opening bands are something you have to endure until the real band comes on to play.  She owned the theatre and was amazingly good.  Bought her record, but unfortunately she hasn't released anything new yet :(

    Has anyone listed the Heartless Bastards yet?

    I saw them open up for Wolfmother about 10 years ago and was blown away.
    Yes...love 'em! Last year Erika, their lead singer, released her debut solo album. I've not yet checked it out tho.

    admìttedly I have not had the privilege of seeing live performances of the astounding talented list above but my very favorite that I did see and hear live was Eartha Kitt around 95 in Vancouver she was all that above  and more...next to her it would  be Etta James early 80s in Toronto at Albert's Hall from the hall way on the stairs at a sold out performance ..incredible vibe and with no visuals was euphoric...

    Until I made my list, I didn’t realize how fortunate I have been to see all these female performers.
    But I’d take out quite a few to have seen Eartha & Etta! And probably switch out all for the chance to have seen Nina Simone❤️

    Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies)
    Florence Welch(Florence &the Machine)
    Exene(X)
    Loreena McKennitt
    Leah Fay (July Talk)

    Margo and Leah are my favs so far but all been amazing except Metric, they were forgettable.

    And in 11 days I'm going to see Heart, Joan Jett and Elle King......can't wait for this show.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
