Karla Anderson: Journal

Been so long since i've made an entry...no, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. Went out to the Island Music Fest. It was a terrific festival. Great to be out on the coast...connecting with all the great folks I met there. The highlight of the festival for me was watching the Darrell Scott concert on Sunday at 4. He blew me away. The tears wouldn't stop comin. It reminded me of the first time i watched Martyn Joseph...that kind of heart wide open. Anyhow, I bought his CD and after the festival took a drive up to Campbell River, listening. It was a much needed and beautiful drive. I'm lookin forward to The Canmore Festival coming up. It'll be great to play with Mike and Marc. Hope to see you out...Hope this finds you well...
Blessings.

WOW!!! I think we'd better think about plans for and ark. Not used to so much rain...Building site is like mud soup. House isn't quite finished...livin like gypsies. Wanted to touch base to let youknow how things are going. The Southern Alberta dates were really great. Thanks toThe Stop in Black Diamond for their commitment to live music and to all the people who come out to support. Main Street Cafe in Nanton too, was such a treat. The chili was delicious!!!! The room was full of warm hearts...thanks to all who came out really...As I always say...If there weren't people to listen and receive, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. It's a two way deal. I tried uploading a copy of the Boston Globe chart on the Pics page. I know it didn't show up very well..for reference...it reads Radio Play for WUMB 91.9 in Boston for the week ending May 26

PS. -- Hallo to all the great folks who were brave enough to come out to our 20 year reunion last night!!! It was great fun to see you out. If you get a chance...come out to a show! :)

Hi all...
Well, I just want to say a big thankyou to everyone who has been responding to the CBC Alberta Bound special. It was a great honor to be among so many terrific performers. I am looking forward to getting out and playing some more this spring/summer...Been contracting a house all winter and I'm beginning to feel like I want my life back!!! No more phone calls to contractors...no more things to pick up no more no more no more. Just move in...have a glass of red wine and thank God it's finished!!!! I'm packing and getting ready to move as we speak (type). Thanks to everyone who have been so patient while I drop out of site!!! Friends...family...my orphan children :) , my boss(!), mymanager Neil.... I'll be baaaaackkk...soon!

Sitting here with my son and nephew marveling at the wonders of host baby...more later...

I just want to say that this news section will be used primarily like a journal. I am first a writer really...with the need to express. My old website had a couple of years worth of journal entries and I miss reviewing them...because it was such a great outline of the journey we've been on. I look forward to building the same relationship here. We just have to start over...from the top...And don't we have to do that in so many ways in life anyhow. How to accept change...that's the greatest lesson ever learned. Two and a half years ago I found myself at the beginning in the middle of my life...Some time soon, i will write a story here about the journey. More than a bio...but a real story you can relate to....the reason you connect with the music and the reason I connect with each of you and your stories. Blessings to everyone taking the time to read this. Send me a line...post a comment if you'd like. But stay in touch...cause this is how roots music grows...one heart at a time.

Finally...we are back...Will be growing slowly but surely!
