Getting back to the music...

I would recommend anything by Ferron.

Also check out a holiday CD put out a couple of years back by Venus Envy entitled, "I'll Be a Homo for Christmas". It's fairly hysterical.

I like Phranc. (But then again, I'm such a sucker for a lesbian version of "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter.") She's just a fantastic Jewish lesbian folksinger.

Speaking of Phranc's cover of the Herman's Hermit's hit, I have had a dream to form an all-dyke band and in performing, change the lyrics of popular oldies to our point of view. (For example, in the Mrs. Brown song the bridge would go, "Walking about, even in a crowd, well, you'd pick her out. Make a dyke feel, so proud." I would really want to do "Sweet Pea". (You know, "Oh Sweet Pea, won't you dance with me...")

I'm glad we're back on the music track.
