Episode 37! In this episode, we continue hashtag #JuneJams with part two of our discussion of June Millington’s songs and guitar playing. We chat about the songs “Bitter Wine” from Fanny’s first album, and “Hey Bulldog” & “Ain’t That Peculiar” from Fanny Hill. Plus some other delicious things along the way!
She gave women permission to play electric guitar. I mean, I didn’t take up the electric guitar ’til…the mid-’70s, so I was, like, 24, and I just wanted to play like June. But I was never, never the kind of electric guitar player that June was, but I remember playing with Cris [Williamson], doing solos with June…that was like something [that] I never thought would happen – that we’d play electric guitars together. She‘s taught so many women – gave so many women permission, and the strength to be balls out guitar players! And what she’s doing now with young women is phenomenal. I rave about IMA [IMA.org] all the time. When people want to know, “Well, how can we learn,” and I tell them to go to IMA. Go study under June Millington, because she is the master. To me, she’s the one. I talk about her all the time in interviews.”
