03-27-12 – St Louis, MO>Chicago, IL – I am an amateur female singer late 20′s with what I have been told by many is a great voice. Would love to find someone who plays guitar, ukulele, banjo, or something and would like to get together to make some music. I love to improvise and would love to find someone who plays and instrument and feels that there are vocals missing and wants someone to fill in the vocal part of their music (or make it fuller, if you sing too). Like to harmonize. Good at making up the words as I go to songs that don’t have them yet.
I love to sing lots of different things, can sing a bunch of Ella’s jazz standards already, (I am a swing dancer and love dancable jazz, especially early swing music and rag time) and love folk, indie, bluegrass, older folkier country, blues, artists like Gillian Welch, Ella Fitzgerald, Malvina Reynolds, Bonnie Rait, Sister Rosetta Tharpe (just heard of her recent — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: 1

03-27-12 – Atlanta, GA>Birmingham, AL – We’re looking for a third player, somebody who plays upright bass (one of those goofy Dearmond things with the rubber strings would work, too, I suppose, assuming you can play it without getting creeped out), preferably, a girl who can sing some lonesome harmonies.

We practice after 8 on Sunday nights at a church (it’s after everybody clears out, so we have the place to ourselves, but I wanted to warn you in case churches are an issue for you). We’re not a “Christian band” (whatever that means); we’re just looking for somebody who’s reliable, barely to moderately talented, and who digs folk/old-time/bluegrass/etc, ala Nickel Creek, Vigilantes of Love, Woody Guthrie, Gillian Welch.

To let me know you’re not a spammer, when you reply, please include the answer to this question:
Fill in the blank in this lineage: Woody Guthrie->Bob Dylan->?????

There’s not one right answer, but there’s lots of wrong answers (example: G. Love). Bonus points for a coherent and compelling argument.
