I blame my mother...ok...it's ALL HER FAULT!
I am so sure i would be touring the world, would have won at least two grammys and have legions of "cute boy" groupies to wait on me IF...she would've just let me play guitar!!
I was always fascinated by the instrument...had my uncle's old cast-off acoustic guitar to drag around...singing "jolene" at the top of my voice! You'd think that would've convinced her i was a shoe-in for a country western singer...but, no...she insisted on the piano. Which is a beautiful instrument, don't get me wrong! But, as a kid, i envisioned myself as a radical rocker like pat benatar or a sensitive balladeer like emmylou. Keep in mind this was pre-tori and I had never heard of laura nyro...she might've changed my mind.
Mom had always wanted to play piano...so she projected. No one could see a kick-ass pair of red cowboy boots under that big box...and i couldn't moonwalk across the stage with a friggin' piano. But mom thought it was too masculine of an instrument. I must be a lady...well, mom, nice try.
I gave up on piano after a couple of frustrating years...and, again, in junior high had the opportunity to learn another instrument. I was hopeful yet again. Arghhh, maaa-uuum...the clarinet??? I was destined for a geeky existence...thus...my mother ruined my career as a rock goddess.
That's ok...i am fulfilled as a library rock star...and have my own "book groupies", as sad as that sounds. I can also keep library books out for a month at a time and no one can do a THING! See...I'm a born rebel!
If only I could play the guitar...ani would have a run for her money!
Enjoy this mix of women whose mothers weren't totally square!! So, mom...this podcast's for you! :)
