It will be interesting to see who else they highlight in the article....Deb NYTMAG-FOLKMUSIC-LESBIANS  The number of female performers in folk who are openly lesbian, bisexual or actively pro-gay has been rising in recent years and seemingly at a higher rate than in other styles of music. The music festivals, concert halls and clubs have rosters full of artists who are lesbian or widely recognized as gay-friendly: Melissa Etheridge, Ani DiFranco, k.d. lang, the Indigo Girls, Nanci Griffith, Holly Near, Janis Ian and dozens more. Lesbians have had such success in acoustic music that more than one female performer has been charged with posing as a lesbian to exploit the market  and some men in the field have begun to talk of feeling alienated.

The article is on the web site already and Catie is not mentioned. I read it once quickly and was very unsatisfied - I plan to read it again to gather my thoughts. There are a lot of artists mentioned as lesbian or "friendly" but the article focuses on Pamela Means as an out lesbian and Ani & Holly has bisexuals who are now with men and Dar Williams having to come out as straight. Anyway, more when I've read it again. Here's a link to the article - you'll probably have to register for the site if you haven't already: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/18/magazine/18FOLK.html Note new email address: sekrauss@attbi.com ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V4 #71 ******************************
