I just want to kick down some Pound that's got me thinkin' about you tonight.. And you know who you are...
"...Poetry, her border of ideas,
The edge, uncertain, but a means of blending
With other strata
Where the lower and higher have ending;
A hook to catch the Lady Jane's attention,
A modulation toward the theatre,
Also, in the case of revolution,
A possible friend and comforter.."

Rumor has it that there were some folks at a show not too long ago-- back when my baby was a full-time nurseling and I wore him in a sling all day-- who were offended by the sight of my nursing and who subsequently left the concert. Now. I'm not down on the old-time-- I can certainly understand modesty as a mark of honor. Yet... It was no Maris Gras gratuity. There was a sweet little sleepy baby at my breast and I was bangin' up the show.
I am an enthusiastic proponent of attachment parenting-- and have refused to allow my work as a musician and performer to interfere with the practice of those convictions of mine.
I would encourage women to nurse out and proud-- as beautiful and healthful a practice as it is-- nursing must be normalized by the women who are willing to step into the light (as it were) and risk the stones. Na mean? Rock and roll y'all..

I've been "fired" from a venue for nursing my baby on stage.
