Guess this GG guitarist! Can hold her own against any man!

She began playing guitar at an early age in Boston and attended Radcliff college. She left in her sophmore year to pusue her love of music and performing and her father was a musical theater legend.
Played in folk and rhythm and blues clubs in and around Boston for years with such greats as Howlin' Wolf,Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Never much of a commercial success until 1989 when she won three Grammys. In 1991 she added two more. I saw her in a small Cambridge,Mass bar in 1974 and she play's a killer bottleneck but then again I'm a sucker for redheads! My favorite song is "Tangled and dark" where she plays a dark,dangerous slide. Whoa! Who is this still smokin' GG guitarist. Like Randy Newman says"Don't send me no young girl with glasses.....Send me a woman tonight"

Love

Bonnie Raitt?

Hey Girls

Ceila,

Yep, it must be. I first heard of Bonnie Raitt in 1978 from my best friend in high school, who also happened to be from Boston. She is a smokin slide guitar player, although I can only imagine how she would sound on a gibson, she definitly can hold her own with the best blues players in the business.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Long read hair and cute as a freaking bug. I love her. If I could play slide like that for one night I would die happy. I'll leave you with my favorite song from "Luck of the Draw." I met a cute red head it seems like ions ago and was young and foolish.(Now I'm old and foolish) It sums up how I felt perfectly but alas it wasn't meant to be because she had another. That's life. Bonnie does a dark and dangerous bottleneck on this one Hun. Killer.Hugs

"Tangled and Dark"

Going to get into baby
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it baby
Down where your fears part

Going to tell the truth about it baby
Honey that's the hardest part
When we get through it baby
Going to give up your heart

Going to get into it baby
Going to give them demons a call
Way on into it baby
Going to find out once and for all

Going to get a little risky baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through it baby
Going to give up our hearts
Going to give up our hearts

Well theres no turning back
No turning back this time
Well theres no turning back
No turning back

No use in running
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change

We might have a chance
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Lets slip under that rock

Going to get into it baby
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it baby
Down where your feelings part

Going to tell the truth about it baby
Honey that's the hardest part
When we get through it baby
Going to give up
When we get through it baby
Going to give up,Going to give up
When we get through it baby
Going to give up our hearts

Love
Jeannie

Jeannie: Since you said "slide guitar," I'm going with Bonnie Raitt as the answer here. That was the most important clue (besides the "gg"). - Kendra Lynn.
