the role of women in folk music is the same as that of men, ie. to play the music & deliver the lyrics. yes, the guys get rough & butt heads & the girls maneuver, but it should be fun or there's no point. music, like the other arts, is sexually charged & it harmonizes our animal, spiritual & emotional instincts better than any other activity i know. so show us how to harmonize & the event has served its purpose.
