A Tribute to the band Yer Girlfriend

A Tribute to the band Yer Girlfriend

As I produce a show called Queer Music Heritage, you might expect that I love to honor the work of artists & musicians who did great work, but just did not, in my opinion, get the credit or exposure they deserved. One such band was called Yer Girlfriend. They were a Kentucky band active from 1989 through 1995, releasing three wonderful albums. Laura Shine and Carol Kraemer did most of the lead vocals and writing. What of course grabbed my attention right away was that the lyrics were very, very gay...or in this case, lesbian. Even some of their titles gave that away: "Dyketime," "She's Not Somebody's Wife," "Lez-B-Bop," and "L-Word." And this was ten years before the TV show "L-Word." So with the magic of Windows Movie Maker, I put together a medley, with pictures, of nine songs from the band Yer Girlfriend.

See my website, at http://www.QueerMusicHeritage.com for more information about the history of GLBT music.

Use of the songs on my channel is done under the "fair use" doctrine of the U.S. Copyright law, Section 107, number 1. Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair, such as: The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes.

I set up a gmail account after my original YouTube channel was done, and as Google & YouTube would not let me just move my old YouTube account, I had to set up a new one to avoid having two different accounts to sign into. This video was originally uploaded on Jan 9, 2012, and had 333 views when moved.
