Abbie & Dolley Records Brings in Nobel Gold

Abbie & Dolley Records Brings in Nobel Gold SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- If you travel to Oslo, Norway and visit THE NORWEGIAN NOBEL INSTITUTE, you will find a pleasant surprise awaiting you in the library: an award-winning CD titled SHE, A TAPESTRY OF WOMEN'S LIVES written by composer and lyricist Dr. Jennifer McDowell. On July 21, 2004, THE INSTITUTE collected this Abbie & Dolley Records release for their 2003 Peace Prize winner, Iranian human rights attorney Shirin Ebadi. This San Jose-made, 18-song CD featuring 12 top singers is in Norway now because of its dramatic tribute to Shirin Ebadi, and its overall artistic quality. Ebadi is Iran's first woman judge, fired by reactionary firebrand, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. But Ebadi kept right on fighting for women, children and democracy. Today she is a world figure seeking publication for her memoirs in the U.S. THE NOBEL INSTITUTE's Anne C. Kjelling wrote Dr. McDowell, "I am impressed with all the work you have put into SHE, lyrics and music for just about every single song!" SHE and its eight musical revues received an award from the California State University-ERFA Foundation. SHE's 12 singers include jazz great Pamela Polland, Barbara Lymberis of Opera San Jose, Robert Berry of Band 3 fame and timeless Georgann Gaines. SHE is mixed genre with songs spotlighting money, clutterbugs, single moms, women's sports, etc. SHE's reach extends further via its eight musical revues. THE BURKAS' CAN CAN features a feisty Islamic "Wife of Bath" named Spicey Blazing who introduces a package of pro-woman reforms: 72 male houris to wait on her in paradise (in SWEET SLAVE TO WAIT ON ME), Allah as a woman and curfews for men. In FOUR YOUNG WOMEN OF VALOR Anita Hill bops Clarence Thomas, Patty Hearst indicts Ronald Reagan, Monica Lewinsky calls Bill a liar and Joan of Arc defends angels. The revue features rap song LIVING ON THE EDGE. Overall theme: When women win, the world wins. Abbie & Dolley Records is a cutting-edge company joined with Lipstick & Toy Balloons. Dedicated to women and world issues, these companies fluff up the stuff and refuse to adjust. Lipstick & Toy Balloons is very pleased to announce that its October 1998 release, the pro-Monica Lewinsky jazz cassingle INTERN GIRL, sung by opera singer Kirsten Clover and a church music director Earl Lord, was inducted into the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on April 25, 2002. Its prophetic artwork foreshadowed President Bill Clinton's sexual harassment of widow Kathleen Willey, and reported rape of campaign worker Juanita Broaddrick. SHE is available via the online music store http://www.abbieanddolleyrecords.com/. The CD can be viewed and ordered online for $18.00 + shipping/tax. INTERN GIRL costs $199.00 + insurance/shipping/tax. This collector's item is a sound investment - in America's future and history's judgment on the Clinton presidency.
