Tina Turner, Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Grace Slick, Gladys Knight ... I mean Houston ... we have a problem. One that @annkpowers on @nprmusic ID'd a couple months ago <https://t.co/h6wHUJjCGM>

News flash: we've had a lot more time to consume music during the pandemic. According to MRC Data, the big winners of 2021 were Morgan Wallen, Adele, world music, old favorites and vinyl.

Here's my video message for 2022 - the perfect year for a woman - say, north of 40 - to follow her dream. Hope you'll come along for the ride as I document this journey.

Next stop: Fri. Jan 28 8:00PM at Chicago's Phyllis' Musical Inn.

Took me a couple years to realize what is missing in this pre-pandemic shot from the NAMM show in Anaheim CA.

[Denise La Grassa @deniselagrassa]

One local promoter said - somewhat accurately - that women musicians "need more confidence" to "put themselves out there." That is, get in the scrum.

That said, @annkpowers on @nprmusic detailed the enduring idea that four white guys make a rock band <https://t.co/ZjFA3juXl5>

[Denise La Grassa @deniselagrassa]

Already making resolutions for the New Year. Be patient. Be kind.

That's all.

This was so good, the @LCLynx1865 Music Students really stepped up.

[Denise La Grassa @deniselagrassa]

Sometimes you realize later that what you think are problems are actually doors to new ideas and opportunities. So, as thanks to @mattkanelos for getting stuck in traffic a long time ago, I’d like to share a couple things ... <https://t.co/JbXJNar4L5>

.@gregkot is a national treasure. Too bad for us, good that he leaves on his own terms.

[NPR Music @nprmusic]

After 30 years as the paper's pop and rock music critic, Greg Kot is leaving the Chicago Tribune. Hear Kot look back on his tenure with the Trib on @WBEZ. https://t.co/YrCavDHMuX
