Quantum Live Radio / Whatever I Want
agnimaus for Quantum Live Radio — Femme Folk Fantasia
Hi everyone,
For today’s episode, I’ve put together two hours of my favorite femme folk singers from the 1920s to now. Music that is near and dear to my heart, some of these songs were the spark that inspired me to write my own lyrics and learn how to play guitar. I hope they have a similar effect on you. Sit back, grab your favorite book, a cup of tea, and enjoy the sultry, breathy voices and acoustic instrumentation.
