Sorry, Lucky, but that's about the most sexist thing on this thread. I know several killer female players and singers that are ALL about the music, and probably less about the money and attention than you are...

You are right that there are fewer than men, but you are wrong there are none (or just unlucky in your area). And where would we be without women like Bonnie Raitt, or Diana Krall, or Aretha Franklin, or Patty Smith, or Bjørk or..... the list goes on and on.

And for an even more extensive list, try this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_composers_by_birth_year

That should keep you busy!
