once upon a time, there was a young girl. she loved to play music. her favorite instrument was the clarinet. she went to classes everyday and practiced all night because playing the clarinet was her passion. whenver she had a performance in her music school she would always come in 1st place. one day she went with her friends to a nightclub in Chicago, it was called Smooth. She heard an amazing band playing nothing like she never heard before. She ran home to tell her parents about the music she heard at the club. Her parents responded by saying "lea you need to stick to classical music, playing that music in a club is no place for a women." She didn't let her parents discourage her. She heard about a band in need for a clarinet player. when she went to audition, the band leader laughed at her and wouldnt let her audition. she convinced the band members to just listen to her play. When she finished playing they were astonished at her ability but told her she couldnt be part of the band officially but maybe they would be willing to let her sing on some records. However lea couldnt hold a note if her life depended on it. after that night's audition she never tried to play that awesome music again. she stuck to classic music and after a few years she began touring around the world with a renowned orchestra.
obviously this is a completely made up story. i was just wondering why there were no women in swing music.
