I'm obviously prejudiced, but I think she does a terrific show, and I hope some of you get to see her.

| Kaki,
That’s what dads do. They just keep raising the bar.

Your dad brags on you a lot. Be proud that he loves you. As for embarassing our kids in public, it's not part of the job description of being a parent, it's just one of the perks.
I may try to get to Santa Monica for one of your gigs with my wife (great excuse for a date aways from the kids). If we get there, can we say hello? |

Location: Houston, TX | Kaki, there's more to Texas than rodeos and mesquite. You would be great at McGonigel's Mucky Duck or Anderson Fair in Houston. It would be easy to book three weeks through Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas. Just give me some notice so I can bring a group. |

| Travel tips.
When in San Luis, stay at the Madonna Inn if you can afford it. It’s a hoot.
Don’t drive drunk! It’s a college town and the cops are every ware on Friday and Saturday nights.
When in San Juan try the El Adobe for a classy dinner, Nixon used to eat there.
Or San Juan Depot Bar & Grill usually has good entertainment.
For a real treat have someone take you to the Swallows Inn. It’s across the street from the El Adobe. If its after 10pm don’t go inside it can get pretty ugly. Just stand in the door and check it out. I’ve spent a lot of nights in that honky-tonk.
All these places are within a mile of the Coach House.

Sorry for getting on the bandwagon so late... but you all have me REALLY curious about Kaki's playing and her CD...where can I get it or hear her music (in Jersey!)?
It's a real treasure to have a supportive parent when you're a musician. It's actually a blessing beyond words.
I played my father one of my newest recordings the other day and he said nothing. Nothing. I would rather he said it sucks (which it doesn't) or he simply didn't like it. But he's too F**King self absorbed to even acknowledge that hours of heart and hard work went into something someone else created.
(Do you hear the violins playing? They're playing [sob] a song of sympathy for me! tee hee)
Kaki, I wish you and your dad all the best!

She just played in NYC a few weeks ago.
I wasn't able to make it as I had a gig.
If by chance Dave doesn't have anymore CD's available, I can burn you a copy of mine and arrange to get it to you. After all, you ARE a "local boy"!
Lemme know. |

Location: atlanta | Johnny, thanks so much for your interest. The CD you are inquiring about was a self-produced, do-it-yourself which Kaki issued under her own copyright in April 2002. Let me quote from an earlier post I made on one of the boards:
"The DIY CD is in the process of being re-mastered by her new record label for commercial release in April 2003, and it will include CD-ROM data including a video of Kaki playing her guitar onstage. I have a few of the do-it-yourself CDs. The fan club has been so helpful, in so many ways, that until they run out, I will send the CD, free of charge, to any of you who would like to have it. Email me your mailing address and I'll try to get one to you, no matter where you are in the world . The way I look at it, any fan of Kaki King is a friend of mine."
I didn't have that many to begin with, and completely ran out about three weeks ago! So there's bad news and there's good news. The bad news is all of the DIY are gone; the good news is that her label release (packaging, artwork, remastering, and CD-ROM) will be during the first week of April. Her record label is Velour Records, and will be distributed in the Sony/Red distribution network. I'll put a notice on the board when it hits the market.
Scott and Paul, thanks for the Texas suggestions. I'm originally a "Texacan" myself, born and raised, but have been in Atlanta for so long that by now I'm completely "southern fried". She is scheduled to appear in March at the SxSW music industry convention in Austin, and in early May at the New Orleans Jazz Fest.
Rich, I don't know of any Midwest appearances other than Bonaroo (July-Tennessee).
6-Stringer, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she tours the mid-Atlantic later this year.
Stonebobbo, by purest coincidence, I'll be in SF on the day of the Fillmore show. It will be my pleasure to buy you at least one "tall, cool one", and introduce you to Kaki between sets.
Best regards to everybody--
Dave King |

Sometimes dad's don't know what to say. They are so busy being dad and responsible that when the time comes to praise their kids, they just don't have the words.
Be tolerant. You can be angry about your dad, or you can just accept the fact that he's doing the best he can and it just might not be up to your standards.
Now I'll shut up. I've probably said too much. |
