My fear is that she's get huge, come over and play England, and the shows
will sell out before I hear about them, so I can't go anyway. :(
I have the most positive thoughts don't I? :)

The list ... it's ... it's ... ALIVE! Muwahahaha! ;) <grins>

I can completely understand this, Mindy, and I feel the same way. If she 
became more successful, we would get more music -- and I might actually get 
to see a show in my lifetime -- but she wouldn't be a special secret 
anymore.

Another thought: I don't think Kristy could ever "sell out"; she seems 
incredibly dedicated to her musical vision ("they're watching my every 
sound, I said..." -Tori ;)), and it doesn't seem to me that she could ever 
compromise that for any amount of money. No one could put a price on her 
voice and talent.

This is also true -- her style of music is so unique, and for this I'm glad. 
She has been compared to many other musicians, but I think she stands out. 
She has a voice that makes me think she could sing opera or other classical 
styles of music, but she uses it to communicate emotions and circumstances 
that life brings to us all. Living in this world can be very painful, and I 
like that she's not afraid of bringing that out into the open. </gush>

<nods> I'm beginning to do this as well. Perhaps she has a larger 
underground fan base than we think (one can only dream). I like the fact 
that although she is not mainstream, her fans are very devoted to her music 
- -- I know -I- am. (Call me a complete freak! <grins>)

Subject: Kristy's range; the Bootlegs CD.

Does anyone know what Kristy's range is? It seems -phenomenal- to me.

Also, are there any stores online or in the Vancouver area in which I could 
purchase the Bootleg[s?] CD? (I'm desperate for a copy; the quality of MP3s 
is horrible compared to the quality of a CD.)

Oh, and if any of you VTers want to contact me on AIM and/or ICQ, e-mail me 
and I'll give you my screenname/number. I'd be delighted to speak with 
fellow Kristy fans, since most people have absolutely no idea who she is. ;)

~Emily

I've wondered before, and I think the lowest I've heard her go is in the solo 
"Flowers Become Screens" where in the verses she regularly goes down to an 
E-flat and scoops down to a D-flat a couple times, and I think the highest 
she has gone that I've heard is in the live "Imagination" that's on Bootlegs, 
and that's a D-flat three octaves above that low D-flat in FBS. So it's safe 
to say that her range is at *least* 3 octaves, though it's most likely more 
than that.

Whoops, I just listened to the recording again (I haven't in a while) and 
it's an E to a D, not an E-flat to a D-flat. Not a big difference, but I want 
to be right. :P
