hello wonderful people --

whoa! what a long and intense process it has been to record The Mule! i'll
have you know that it is being duplicated starting today. phew! i was so
relieved to drop it in the mail. :) i'm so excited. i can't wait to see
it. i love how all the songs turned out and how all the graphics turned
out. i can't wait to share it with you all. there's still time to
pre-order (http://www.kmetal.net/help.html) your copy to help me pay for
all the production costs and receive your Mule superfast before everyone
else at your doorstep through the mail. i'd be so grateful.

i wrote lots of the songs on the mule a long time ago (1991 - 2001). they
are grouped together thematically. i worked with the same band as on Brave
Enough, minus Littlebird of course. Sarah Woolf played a bit in her place.
and Denise Barbarita sang a bit in her place. the material on The Mule is
more difficult than the material on Brave Enough, in many ways. and
Littlebird's absence sure added to the difficulty. the sessions were
emotionally intense and very tiring. the songs somehow relate to
everything about littlebird's death, even though most were written before
she and i became partners. still, we got the thing recorded in four days
and mixed in three. then i went to Boston to master it. and i created all
the graphics myself this time, which was fun and challenging and
satisfying.

sarah woolf (www.sarahwoolf.com) and i have started to play together and
we're planning a tour together that will promote both our new cds from
coast to coast, so stay tuned as the dates get to the tour schedule. we'd
love to see you at a show.

yipppeeeee!
and now i need a long rest!
weeeeeee
zzzzzzzz
peace and chicken noodle soup,
kristi
