lsquo;... Irsquo;m sure Irsquo;m not the only one whorsquo;s thinking; hang on a minute; ldquo;I seem to have the knack of pleasing ladies.rdquo; In trousers? With short hair? In public? Was that allowed? Indeed it was.rsquo;A cool and contemporary look at one of the most intriguing aspects of musical theatre ndash; just what is it that makes a woman in trousers so appealing? Accompanied by a piano; mezzo-soprano Jessica Walker dons a few well-chosen items of male attire; giving a supremely well-sung performance that conjures up an entire world; from the swaggering cross-dressers of the Victorian Music Hall to the ambiguous boy-heroes of Mozart and Strauss; to the back-room bulldykes of the Harlem Renaissance. Commissioned and produced by Opera North Projects with the Southbank Centre touring partner Welcome to Yorkshire. The Girl I Left Behind Me is a provocative; flirtatious; personal one woman-guide which deliciously recalls a forgotten chapter of female performance.The Girl I Left Behind Me was performed at The Barbican Centre in November 2011 as part of the Bite Season.

Great for the Intermediate to advanced player exploring country guitar!By Rich KIf youre exploring country guitar and want more than a book of country licks this is a great book to pick up. Tab and explanations are great and recorded solos sound VERY close to the originals. Probably not a book for absolute beginners as some of the solos are pretty challenging. But intermediate to advanced players exploring country guitar will be pleased. I didnt use the amazing slow downer as the book recommended. I use Audacity for all of pitch/tempo needs when learning songs/solos. ENJOY!!
