The recent film "Crossing the Bridge" about the music scene in Istanbul has a stunning performance by Brenna McCrimmon (with Turkish Gypsy musicians, including Selim Sesler) of a Gypsy song from Bulgaria which seems to be addressed by a prostitute to her pimp at the end of a night's work: "come up and get your money..." I would guess Kalan Muzik have recorded it, I'll check when I'm back in Istanbul in a few weeks.

At the other enbd of the spectrum, I included a hymn for repentant prostitutes in my "Embro, Embro" cd-rom (from a whole book of them produced for an asylum for fallen women around 1800), also a lesbian song addressed to a vibrator, etc. etc.

I'd second the recommendation for "My Song is My Own" - there was a companion LP for it, too.

Sarah Elizabeth Campbell and The Banned do a song: "I've Got A Car Now, I'll Just Drive Away."
Is this on an album?Anyone know where I can get copy of song or album?

Could you post the words to one or two of the hymns here?

Also Penny Sidor of Vancouver B.C. used to and perhaps still does put on a women's singing weekend. She is a phenomenal singer. mg
