Ah gee, women not playing the banjo? Surely you jest! Lily Mae Ledford (The Coon Creek Girls) was playing the banjo back in the 30' and 40's, and her Granddaughter Carrie Norris is carrying on the tradition. One of the finest Appalachian banjo players here in KY I've seen, Debra Jenkins, also plays off and on with my band. And my daughter plays the trombone, and one of our bass sub-ins is a woman, and I LOVE audio stuff for my computer. I think sex probably works best for the wind instruments. After all, harmonica players can both blow AND suck! (can't believe I just said that) Robin2
