That whole set of women was so kick-ass, and it continues to make me angry that they didn’t turn that concert into an album.

Thanks! I teach sewing classes in the summer, and the family keeps chickens. One of them was giving me serious side-eye whilst I was teaching and a perfect handle was begun!

Thank you for sharing. She was phenomenal.
