365 Women a Year
Something different this month - a ten minute musical about pelvic exams!
Well, really it's about Dr. Lila Wallis, the "Godmother of Women's Health," written for the 365 Women a Year project. Here's sneak preview - lyrics to a little ditty I call "Pelvic Rodeo." Yee haw!!
The COWBOY DOCTOR wheels an OB/GYN table (or some approximation of such) on stage. During the song, he’ll coax Lila up on the table, corral her into position, etc. EVE and MARY act as chorus/back up dancers.
Cowboy Doctor:
