Well you gotcher guitar and yer practice amp

Last night I was pleased to see a flyer for the Willie Mae Rock Camp, a summer day camp, scheduled for this summer in NYC, based on the Girls Rock n Roll Camp model and named after the late, great Willie Mae Thornton.

(You may recall that Brittney did an article about the Southern Girls Rock n Roll Camp.)

I think this is a fucking fantastic idea and I encourage anyone who has instruments (or money, of course) that they're not using to donate.

I wish I'd had this opportunity as a kid. I imagine that if I had, my musical repertoire would be more extensive than "Iron Man," "Ziggy Stardust," "Talk About the Passion," and various generic folk songs.
