Mrs. Kate's Blog (of sorts)
July 10, 2010
Hello Everyone!
Do I get the prize for the world's most infrequent blogger? Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Life gets crazy-busy around here!
Summer Library Season this year was fantastic. My niece, Sara, flew out from California to live with us for 3 weeks and work for me as my Roadie. Together we did several gigs, including libraries in Volusia County, Flagler County, and Brunswick, GA. It was fun working with her and she made my Top Ten Roadie List. After Sara left, I performed at the Indian River County Main Library, with Roadie Joey Cash's able assistance. Joey grew up on my music, and it was fun to see him in his roadie role, animated and joyful.
The "You Otter Go Fishing with Mrs. Kate" show was great fun. I created it especially for the "Make a Splash! Read!" FLYP program theme. I displayed the famous Fish Quilt on a rack made by Matt and Sharon Browning, good friends and brethren from our church. Ozzie the Otter combed the audience, selecting volunteers to "go fishing" behind the quilt. The children hooked "song fishes" on whose backs were rhyming clues that the audience solved to introduce each new song. It was great fun. New song introduced in this year's show: Bird on the Beach. Sorry, no recording yet. I have GOT to get back into the studio.
Every time you friends out there buy something from my website or book me for a concert, it gets me one step closer to getting back into the studio to record.
I've had some recent licensing of my music. People who want to use my songs in video or other projects go to www.audiosparx.com and take it from there. They are a great company and I have really benefited from being one of their artists. Songs that have been licensed: Hug-a-Bug-a-Boo, Give Me a Smile, Teamwork, Hero in my Eyes, Books of the Bible, and others.
It's fun to see kids who have sung on my CD's and worked with me on video projects out there blessing folks with their talents. Sarah Harris sang on Gotta Be a Doer and Florida Family Folksongs. Her family now has a bluegrass band, The Harris Family Band, and they just left for their first tour to Idaho. Her "little brother" Joshua acted on my Doer Video. He is now a banjo prodigy and composed an amazing original banjo piece on his family's first CD. WOW!
PLEASE email me at MrsKate@MrsKate.com to get on my mailing list. ALL POINTS BULLETIN: I am "getting off of " AOL and moving my email to MrsKate@MrsKate.com. Please add me to your contacts so I don't end up in your spam folder.
God bless you and have a safe, happy and healthy summer!
Singin' and smilin'!
