Musical Performance
Joan Friedenberg, Ph.D. (harmony vocals, keyboard, guitar, autoharp, ukulele) is a 30-year professor of education and author, and Bill Bowen (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica) is a 35-year journalist, including 23 years at the Palm Beach Post. Both overlapped their careers with a penchant for performing music. They formed the PinkSlip Duo 13 years ago and use their research and writing skills to create musical lectures about their musical heroes. The PinkSlip Duo was named “Best Folk Band” for Palm Beach and Broward counties by New Times.
Voices of Women in the '60s: Judy, Joan, Joni, Janis, Carly and Carole
Shaped by the cultural and sexual revolutions of the
sixties and changing attitudes about a woman’s place
in the world, our six songwriters and singers helped
shape some of those changes with their lyrics and
lifestyles, which set examples of independence and
growth away from the shackles of subservient earlier
generations. “Stop in the name of love,” pleading
with the two-timing boyfriend to “come back,” would
be replaced by “It’s Too Late” and “You’re so vain,
you probably think this song is about you.” In a live
music-spiced examination of this cultural
phenomenon, singing duo Bill Bowen and Joan
Friedenberg, who perform professionally as the
PinkSlip Duo, retrace the steps of these female music
legends — and bring you with them. Power Point
photographs illustrate as the inspiring presentation
wends its way through the lives of Judy Collins, Joan
Baez, Joni Mitchell, Janis Ian, Carly Simon and Carole
King, with commentary that recalls both their
challenges and stunning achievements. Their songs
are sung in harmony-rich arrangements with lyrics
projected for audience sing-along for an educational
and nostalgic journey.
