Welcome back to hashtag Sisters in Law with Joe Weinbanks, Barb McQuade, and me Joyce Fance.

We'll miss him this week. She's out. We already missed her, but we'll be looking forward to having her back next week.

Today we'll be discussing Judge Cannon's most recent ruling in the Mar-a-Lago investigation.

The start of the Oath Keepers' Seticious Conspiracy Trial, and I understand that Barb has an exciting new project she wants to discuss with us.

As always, we look forward to answering your questions at the end of the show.

But before we get started, y'all, did you see this crazy story yesterday about Lizzo?

Was it playing the flute in the Library of Congress?

It was. I mean, it was like, you know, she picked up this flute that belonged to James Madison and played it.

And the next thing you know, the internet went crazy with people who I'm sure didn't even know that this flute existed 48 hours ago.

Like it was some sort of just, it was Waka, right? What did you think about it?

I think that it was special for Lizzo, and that if some other performer, someone with the qualities and talent that she had did it, there wouldn't have been a big ruckus.

And this sort of fits with everything we're seeing about stereotypes and gender bias. That's what I think this is. What do you think?

Yeah, I saw the clip. She was joyful. She's a train. I guess they call it a floutist. She's a classically trained floutist.

And the Library of Congress invited her to play a number of historic flutes, including this one made of crystal that was owned by James Madison or something.

And she did. And she did it in a such a joyful way. I don't see what the fuss is all about.

You know, one thing it reminds me of, Jill, and it's, is, is Joyce just said, probably nobody even knew this thing existed before this event.

But one of the things it reminds me of, Jill, is you once said that things are meant to be used as intended.

And although this crystal flute, I'm sure is there to also look pretty, it's a functioning flute. And so it should be played from time to time by someone who knows how to play it, a classically trained floutist.
