April was a great guitarist in a band called Ramatam. I started listening to them in the 70's, and still enjoy them today. Little did I know she had become a very good artist. Many pieces of her artwork may be of interest to cS members.

She was a guitarist, singer, and composer who rose to some prominence in the early to mid 1970s as a member of the band Ramatam, which also included former Iron Butterfly guitarist Mike Pinera and the former Jimi Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell. She was hailed as the female Jimi Hendrix by many, and her style was a mix of Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Alan Holdsworth.
