Lindsey Stirling - yes son, that is a super star.

You know I have to say this because it is just one of the many things I respect about Lindsey Stirling. Something that so many other young female performers in Hollywood feel the need to do, but shouldn't because it isn't necessary.

 Lindsey, Thank you for keeping your clothes on.

Now don't misunderstand me. I have the greatest respect for women and especially women of singing, dancing and performing talent. Over the last 20 years there have been some absolutely phenomenal female performers and women with extraordinary music skills. Be it Singing or dancing or playing a instrument or all 3.  But I'm just tired of seeing so many young women feeling the need to expose themselves when it really isn't needed. There are some truly, amazing, talented and inspiring young women today. People of exquisite musical skill and beauty. Why do they take their clothes off? Why do they bring themselves to this level of exposure?
   They say it's them expressing themselves and their talent or breaking out of their shell into womanhood. I can understand wanting to do something that allows them to "Stand-Out" among the other talented women in Hollywood. Also I have no delusions of how difficult it is to succeed in that world.
  Lindsey Stirling has shown over the last 3 years that it isn't necessary to dress in skimpy outfits and exposing parts of her womanly body to be successful, talented and skilled. She hasn't swung naked on ball or worn a bikini out on stage or "Twerked" at all in her performances. She hasn't done acts of debauchery or talked down on other performers.   Yet she fills venues and sells out ticket offices every time she performs.
I truly respect Lindsey for showing real character and dignity in the entertainment world, by not stooping to the level some celebrities do. This is the kind of celebrity that kids can look up to and learn from.  I as a parent can feel safe knowing that there are celebrities out in the world that aren't exposing my son  to things he doesn't need to know about yet. Parents like me can point her out to our kids and say,"That is a super star."
Thank you Lindsey.

A Tri-Force of Independent Music Women.

Lindsey Stirling, Amy Lee and Orianthi Panagaris.

 I personally have listed to all 3 of these incredible women over the last 10 years. Each in their own genres of music, they both dominate and inspire in every way of musical excellence.
 Through trials and tribulations against their art, they have shown the world that they are strong, talented and will not be silenced or shutdown.
  I can honestly say that I haven't heard all of their music, but I am making a firm effort to find and listen to all their music.
 Amy Lee was my first encounter in this musical force. Her singing with the band Evanescence hooked me from the first moment it hit my ear drums. I have been hooked on her music ever since. Her ability with a microphone and a piano gives me chills and raises the hairs on my back to new heights of enjoyment that makes me thankful that my ears function properly. The story of her beginnings and where she is now, is truly inspiring.
 I was introduced to Orianthi Panagaris through Michael Jackson's movie "This is it". I can only imagine what her career might have been if the King of Pop had gone on his final tour with her. Her ability with the 6 string guitar is truly Amazing. You can name off  on one hand the top female guitarist in the world. She by far towers high above them. To see and hear the beautiful rifts that come off of her fingers tickling the strings of a "axe", is something every pair of ears needs to hear and appreciate. Her tale of discovery and continued excellence is beyond words of Divinity.
 I discovered Lindsey Stirling last of the 3 women. I happened across one of her videos on Youtube quite by chance about 4 years ago. It was astounding at the time I didn't think it was real. Then just yesterday I heard her hauntingly Awesome violin again over Satellite Radio. When I arrived home and looked her up, I was amazed that it was the same woman I had seen 4 years earlier.  I began searching the web and discovered that her playing and style was not only REAL, but Magnificent. I'm still discovering all that she is and I can say I am thoroughly impressed, especially with the resistance she originally received. When reading about where she came from and how she has succeeded in her craft is incredible.
 
 Then it struck me. 3 women, 3 string instruments, A tri-force of Music Power the likes of which no ear has ever heard.
 To combine Amy Lee's Piano, Lindsey Stirling's Violin and Orianthi Panagaris' Guitar, would be to possibly bring into creation the most epic music machine that has ever existed on this earth. If the talent of these three incredible women could be brought together for a song, a single, an album, a concert, a tour; could we possibly see .... Dare I say it... Music to tame the savage heart of mankind!

Oh what a incredible melody that could be.

Take these words as you will. Just the thoughts of a fan struck by these 3 amazing women of music.
