She is amazing, and she has inspired me to go for what I have always dreamed of, to be a singer. Her voice is by far the best one I have ever heard, and her lyrics the same. I could never thank her enough for everything she has done for me. I hope we will all she her in the future, making wonderful music like only she can. There is no other that could replace her in my heart. ~Valerie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 14:37:44 -0700 From: Bill Arab Subject: No longer new to this list. Wow. I posted once to this group and got three offline responses and one online! I'm gonna post all my answers back to the list, as a lot of the questions were the same, and there was nothing personal in the mails (I won't post personal stuff to public lists!) The big question was when there will be new material available from Kristy. The answer is um, sooner than later. We are currently recording some stuff at our rehearsal space, which is actually better than it sounds. The space used to be a recording studio, but the original tenants went broke. We share the space with a friend of mine, who has set up a hard-drive/ADAT studio in there, so it's actually possible to do some good recording right where we are the most comfortable playing. Right now we've been mostly demoing stuff, but the nice thing about the way we are doing it is that we can always add to what we've done. We're recording live off the floor right now, so we'll see how that goes. Another question was if we would be touring any time soon. Sadly, the short answer is no. We are totally self-funded, and the funds aren't much, so it looks like we'll be sticking fairly close to home for the next little while at least. So we'll be playing mostly around Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and maybe into Washington State as far Seattle or so. We are looking at some other ways of doing things - festivals and such, but there's nothing firm enough to talk about yet. The best thing I can offer is the Web site to be. I'll be putting together a server in the next few weeks and tossing it up on the Web (that's what I do for a living anyway..). It should be not problem to make digital files of what we do record (probably mp3) and put them on the server for people to download and play on their computers. It's not a tour, and it probably won't be a whole CD or anything, but on the upside, it's free and you'll be the first to hear it. I'll put something on the list as soon as that is ready. Milkrox also said nice things about bass, which is always good to hear. And yes, I have checked out her site and it's real cool. Besides the big recording issue, most of the other mails were folks being nice and welcoming me to the list. Thanks everyone! I'm lucky because I have a job that allows (no, actually requires) that I'm online on a really fast link all the time, so I should be able to get keep people right up to date with stuff as it happens. I don't know if people prefer to correspond offline or on, so if you send me anything offline, please let me know which way you would like me to get back to you. - Bill ------------------------------ End of vicious-thorn-digest V2 #40 **********************************
