Mississippi Medicine Show

Hi there....
November came and went so fast that I didn't have a moment to catch y'all up on what's goin' on in my music life. The summary...two sold out shows, great audience (minus the out of control fan ...aka...the toe licking stripper) and the catfish...yummy! Great nights of music and a wonderful way to share the adventure. Right after that I hopped the train to Winnipeg and back to do some pre-production work with don benedictson and Christian Dugas. It is very exciting to be moving in the direction of the new disc. We've got a solid start with the demos and the grant writing will begin tomorrow. Yeehaa! Bring on the funds.

I'm in a holding pattern right now with festival applications and such. I was very fortunate on my tour down south as I'll be playing a bigger festival this coming summer. Can't say which one just yet but I'm really, really pleased.

Solstice and Christmas are creeping up so quickly. It'll be good to be moving into days with more light after December 22nd. One of my favorite days of the year is...boxing day. No, not for the sale, for the quiet and reduction in consumerism.

On that uplifting note...ha ha...I'll wish you all the best of the season and catch up with you again in 2009.

Thanks for a great year! xo Kat
