I'm Back From Suffragette City

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we recently played a power-hour of songs by female artists. “Power” was definitely the right word, as we started with Walela and Ulali, two all-female groups with strong voices and fun names to say. The set ended with Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” proving once again that every song about Wounded Knee is awesome (made-for-TV specials, on the other hand, tend to be hit or miss).
