Celebrating Women in Country Music!

In celebration of Women's history month, please join me in appreciating three hours of all-female country singers, many of whom made great strides forward for others within the genre. We can only guess at what some of these women had to put up with to advance their careers in a very male-dominated industry, especially in the 1930s-1970s, the era I will be focusing on. Many of them were not only great vocalists and entertainers but also some of the most prolific and accomplished songwriters of their day. We'll talk about their accomplishments and enjoy some good old country songs together.
