Why are there so few female CA musicians?
Is it such hard work to squeeze a Cajun box?
Or is it not ladylike to pump out twosteps and waltzes?
And why do they never stay on this forum? Are we too rude, macho or whatever??
Questions, questions!
If we continue that way, there's a big chance that Lady Cajun Accordion Player are becoming Feminist Cajun Accordion Player and is that what we want gentlemen ?
Women do not gravitate to certain instruments. Trumpet, sax, and trombone don't get much play from the femmes. I can only name 8 ladies playing Cajun accordion, though there are surely more.
It probably has to do with "how they look" playing the instrument. Vanity is often the guiding force.
