Mary Win - Riverside (Ode to Blip Blip version) on YouTube

I plan on bringing you all kinds of women in music on She Plays Music.com. Sure, I’ll talk about the ones who are already famous, making millions of dollars and singing to millions of fans. But I also want to bring you women musicians who are maybe, not so recognized. Like Mary Win. I found this YouTube video of her singing Riverside, which is an ode to her cat Blip Blip. Cute name.

Now I’ll be honest here, I am not a cat person. They make me sneeze, my eyes get all blood shot, my face turns all blotchy and well at the end of it all…I look like I’ve had a major hard night of drinking, but I actually like her song to her cat.

Anyway, I found Mary’s song under the Pets & Animals section. She has an extrememly soothing voice. If she were to make a cd, it would be one I would put on after I had drawn a huge bubble bath, lit some candles and dimmed the lights. Very nice. Tell me what you think.

Here’s a little more about Mary Win:

Here’s a little about me. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand to Burmese political refugees fleeing the military dictatorship in neighboring Myanmar (formerly Burma) but the family soon settled in Seattle, Washington when I was ten months old. I played Clarinet throughout my school years. I wrote my first “official” song after my first real heartbreak, titled “Linger”, at age 15. In May, 2006 I started open-miking with a handful of originals. Shortly after turning 17, I experienced my first official live gig. Since then, I’ve been consistently performing across the Puget Sound in Washington State every weekend.
