Happy Spring!

Oh my, what a winter we had in NorCal! Over 80 inches of rain, and more snow in the mountains than we have ever seen.

We are rejoicing with the bees, getting our gardens planted, planning our summer and fall adventures. Leslie has moved to Sebastopol! So good to have her in Sonoma County. Megan is taking a mandolin course with Matt Flinner, learning some great bluegrass tunes, and teaches mandolin as well. She is also working on slide guitar, and of course, writing new songs. Anita just returned form a trip to the desert over spring break, and Tom returned from a trip to Cuba. So, lots going on! We have a slew of new songs that we are workshopping and getting ready for you, who knows when we will get them recorded.

We are excited that our new single “Women Are” just dropped and is available to listen on all streaming platforms and to download at bandcamp.com.

Here are the lyrics:

Women are strong, women are smart, women make babies, women make art

Women are nurturing and kind, Women have hearts, women have minds

Women make excellent world leaders, doctors, lawyers and teachers

We got all different kinds of bodies, different dance moves, different hobbies

Women are strong, women are smart, women make babies, women make art Women are nurturing and kind, Women have hearts, women have minds

Women work just as hard as men but earn only 83%

As low as 57 cents on the dollar if she is a woman of color

Women are understandably pissed about all the opportunities missed

One in four have been abused, sexually assaulted and used

But women are strong, women are smart, women make babies, women make art

Women are nurturing and kind, Women have hearts, women have minds

Let us put man and woman together, together we are smarter

Some say no, I say so, working together we can grow

It aint me, it’s the people that say "Inequality is here to stay"

Women say “Equal rights are the only way!”

That’s right, together we’re smarter, That’s right, together we’re smarter, That’s right, together we’re smarter, together we’re smarter, that’s right

We all know women are great, so why are we regulated by the state?

Squint at the picture, it still looks wrong, don’t make our kids have to sing this song

It aint me, it’s the people that say "Inequality is here to stay" Women say “Equal rights are the only way!”

That’s right, together we’re smarter, That’s right, together we’re smarter, That’s right, together we’re smarter, together we’re smarter, that’s right

The daughters lose what the mothers earned now Roe v Wade’s been overturned

We’ve got to raise up every voice, ‘cuz it’s her body, it’s her choice, right?

Women are strong, women are smart, women make babies, women make art Women are nurturing and kind, Women have hearts, women have minds

Women are strong, women are smart, women make babies, women make art Women are nurturing and kind, Women have hearts, women have minds
