QMH for August 2011
http://www.queermusicheritage.com/aug2011.html
 
The Drag King Show….in two parts. First, the modern history, including interviews with Anderson Toone, Leigh Crow, and for a local touch, Robin Mack of the Houston Gendermyn. Part 2 honors the male impersonators, and others, who were the forefathers of modern Drag Kings. I’m calling it Drag Kings, The Prequel. Lots of often-neglected history, and gender issues, in these shows.
