Q: Are any of
you full time musicians?
Well, no and yes. If you mean do any of us make our whole living
traveling around the country in a tour bus and playing gigs, then the answer
is no. However, a number of our members divide their time between
performing in LMS and other bands and doing music-related work like giving
voice or instrument lessons.

Q: Why does the
band discriminate against men? Don't you like them?
Like them? Heck, some of us have even married them!
And seriously, we will often have male guests sit in. But, the point of
this band is to get together with other women and have a great time doing
something we love.
It's interesting, there is definitely a different vibe being in an all-woman
band. There's more acceptance, support, camaraderie and laughter than
some of us have experienced in mixed or predominantly male bands. We
also have a sense of reprising the great tradition of "Girl Bands"
from the 30s and 40s (see "Some Like It Hot").
So, we sure don't dislike men, but we definitely love working together to
create something different, unique, and woman centered.
