Date: October 01, 1999 16:32 Poster: scottish squrrrrl greetings to all the lads and lassies on the board, great to see kristen's back to playing at eddie's (probably the best listening room in the world (thanks carlsberg!)). and everybody knows that all the *best* people were born in october. ha! :) big 3-0 looms large in my headlights. so, umm, i finally got back to writing lyrics after a wee mini writer's block (they suck btw) and wondered if y'all would like to give me some constructive criticism.... g (who never saw any fly saucers, not in 28 years of living in scotland, humph). <g> Date: October 02, 1999 22:13 Poster: Lynn in Minneapolis Hi Kristen! A friend from Atlanta once told me that if she saw me in an Atlanta bar shooting pool, she would confuse me for you.....what an amazing compliment. I have never seen you perform, but I am checking my calendar to see how possible it might be to fly to Atlanta for your December CD release at Eddie's Attic. I adore your music and listen to you constantly....at least one of your CD's is always in the car. I recently had a bonding moment with another Minnesotan who knew of you and adored you as well....we are hoping hoping hoping that you are planning a trip north for a show....we would be pleased as pie. Peace to you, and hope the move back to Hotlanta goes smoothly. Date: October 04, 1999 13:39 Poster: Dean/Kirsten in Minneapolis Hi Kristen! We love you! hehe Ok, enough crazy fan stuff. But seriously, we adore the gift you share with everyone. What a blessing to have this music in our lives. I can count many occaisions where it was the perfect thing to help me see things more clearly. Thanks for that. Kirsten (no, not Kristen...my friend Kirsten here in Minneapolis!) and I are buds and we are planning on coming down to see you when you have some shows posted. So look out for these crazy Minnesotans. We could use a break from the weather here around January...so be sure to have a few shows lined up for us. *laugh* Just kidding! :) By the way...howdy hi to Lynn who just posted. If you want to form a Minneapolis-based Kristen fan club...let me know at DeanFlory@hotmail.com. Kristen and I would love to meet you and your other new friend for coffee and Kristen talk. :) Date: October 08, 1999 12:51 Poster: Lynn in Minneapolis Hey there Dean and Kirsten! How fun to have more Minneapolis folk out there who LOVE LOVE LOVE Kristen! I think we should definitely do the Fan Club thing....what a hoot! And I am also more than willing to make a January trip down to Atlanta for a show....what could be better? Dean, I'll drop you an email soon. Til then, be happy!

Date: October 10, 1999 14:59 Poster: Katherine Benson Kristen, I have been searching high and low, to find you, so that I might be able to tell you, just how much I appreciate you're music! You have always been a driving force in my music, with you're meaningful voice, and undying love songs. Life would be empty, without the voice of you, Kristen Hall....You are the evolution of a new dawn, and I wanted to thank you, for getting me through all the good and bad times. Take care, and God bless you, Kristen. I look forward to seeing you in the Tampa bay area, of Fla. Don't be a stranger! Our local radio station, WMNF, plays your music all the time. The sales are good in this area, so keep 'em coming..........Kathy** Date: October 10, 1999 15:15 Poster: Kathy Benson Temple Terrace, Fla.

Can someone give me some details? I've left the south for NYC and I'm completely out of the loop. BTW, I saw kh at Eddie's when Thumbprint was issued (stayed for both shows!) and I'm seriously considering a flight down on Dec. 11.

Love to you all...Jamie Date: October 19, 1999 17:35 Poster: April ..we don't descriminate against annoying questions !!

Perhaps an "artwork" page for us ??? Of course, ours would never be as good as Kristen's !! (i'm doing the australian crawl here...beg beg..) Creativity attracts creativity, and who better to inspire us than Kristen...?.!! Date: October 21, 1999 03:23 Poster: Annie - England Kristen, what music are you currently listening to at the moment? Date: October 21, 1999 09:42 Poster: Lori Charvat KRISTEN: Do you have any plans for touring in the Northeast? I have been a HUGE fan of your for the last 10 years. A friend of mine has this great little cafe (which he just opened) - Acoustic Cafe - and we would love to have you play here. Michelle Malone was here just 2 weeks ago - and packed the place. How can I reach you or your agent? Please respond to me via my e-mail address: <LJCharvat@Juno.com> Date: October 21, 1999 09:46 Poster: Lori Charvat I realized that in my last posting I forgot to mention WHERE in the NE: Connecticut to be exact. . . Bridgeport to be even more specific. Date: October 21, 1999 14:52 Poster: Tish Hey Kristen. Now I just have to say something...I went with a bunch of friends to see Michelle Malone at that very same wonderful new place in Bridgeport, too. It's a really comfortable warm and fun room.Just let us know--whatever you want or need that might entice you to come. Supporting a wonderful new place that's trying to get off the ground--that's a cool thing...well we're all waiting breathlessly for the new album anyway. Take care. Date: October 25, 1999 00:55 Poster: Puffin sorry, another Brit coming on board. Only just found this site. i have loved Kristen's music for ages and by hook or by crook managed to get the 4 albums. Excited to hear there is a new one on the way. Kristen, are you planning at all to come to UK to do concerts? if not is there a way of someone letting us know when dates in US are posted so we can try and fit a holiday around this? I would cross the atlantic without charts........ Date: October 26, 1999 01:05 Poster: April Happy Birthday Kristen..and good luck for Wednesday night. I can just hear all those (half drunk) angelic voices singing along...better confuse them and do some new stuff ! Have a great night !!

We have memorized every song on your albums and listen to them everyday!! We hope to see you live again in the near future. Until then, Peace and Love Linda and Benda Date: October 28, 1999 07:05 Poster: Lisa / "Cowgyrl" cowgyrl@freewwweb.com Hi Kristen, Just wanted to say thank you for the picture last night, and the autograph. Your show was as I expected......... Totally Awesome!! I wanted to give this poem to you..... something I wrote to say thank you. :) Lisa / "Cowgyrl" Unforgotten Melodies %A9 by . Cowgyrl~ The rhythm goes on inside my heart, each note finding its place close to my soul. I let my mind drift back to a time when the words fell silently and shadows were something beyond today. The tune is hauntingly familiar for it is my strength, my only refuge in the night. Sing your song for me, sweet lady, let me live in the memory of your words. Lately I feel the sadness from the notes that fall upon my soul, only to remind me of the songs we once knew. It's cold out tonight, and my heart could use some warmth, so sing your song for me, sweet lady.....for I've nowhere left to go. Thank you Kristen Hall...your songs still bring me to my knees ~ http://chickpages.com/girlbands/cowgyrl/ Date: October 28, 1999 07:12 Poster: Lisa / Cowgyrl ok can someone upload me some" Wite-out" so i can go back and fix that %^%$#$#@ semi post i just did?? <g> Date: October 28, 1999 11:11 Poster: scottish sqrrrrl guid morning! well, kristen rocked the socks off this lassie last night at eddie's. :) old songs, new songs, eddie singing on howie, the great lyric debate on peaches, the funny stories and the camaraderie of the "welcome back home kristen" crowd. the new songs are great, look out for an "official" bootleg cd in december. g ...driving through the carolina's golden green mountains silhouette the horizon waiting to be woken from this dream and praying it will carry on, carry on... wanderlust (g.anthony) Date: October 28, 1999 16:16 Poster: Martine Boy I hate to be the party pooper here, but yall are making me work trying to keep this page so that it loads fairly quickly for people with slower connections. You've posted some lovely verse but can we hold off on it and revert to more traditional board-type entries, please? I'd appreciate it, Martine PS. Last night's show was great. Lots of good stuff. Samples from the new bootleg will be added prior to the release date, so stay tuned for that. Date: October 28, 1999 17:57 Poster: April..who thinks 30 is a great number !! Hey Annie, do you feel like me..?..happy, yet sad.. we are a part of this experience, yet to far away to actually *experience* it..?..

Aye bonnie lass..a-hem, my e mail is squirrel@csis.net.au feel free to send one or two on...(i said one..or 'two', not 50 !!..) cheers big ears.. Date: October 30, 1999 17:22 Poster: Annie - England Without wishing to offend anybody can I just say how much I prefer this message board when its Kristen Hall related. Recently we've gone way off the subject and as much as its nice to read all sorts of mail its much nicer when its about Kristen and her music. Date: October 30, 1999 20:36 Poster: All discussion is good Annie I don't see much non-Kristen content other than a couple of messages. And Martine already asked for that to stop. Chill out!! Date: October 31, 1999 09:47 Poster: hmmmm..... hey guys, you want Kristen related discussion? Me too. so, I haven't seen this done here before...(at least I dont remember) But let's take a poll!! **What are your top 3 favorite Kristen tunes?** mine are (in no particular order) It's Allright Out in the Country Wish I May um. yeah. those are my picks. at least for today. :) ok, your turn! --sue Date: October 31, 1999 10:57 Poster: Audra (tisara@webworqs.com) Well...it's been a long time. I'm sorry about that, but sometimes life gets in the way. I think the last time I posted, I mentioned how I lost my mother in April. Well I lost my father in August. It's been a hard year, to say the least. But music has always been my refuge...and of course Kristen is a part of that. So thank you Kristen...for giving what you do and helping me through some of my darkest hours. It means more than anything I could post here. That being said...I was shopping last night and I found Real Life Stuff on CD, which was exciting because it has that extra track that I was spazzing about before ("Island") and now it's all mine for the play and re-play. :) So, uh...Kristen...when are you coming back North? I've -never- seen you live (it's a very very sad thing) and I want to (I'm sure I could spam on about how much that would mean...warning: when I do see you, I will probably cry.) *dorks* :) Okay I'm gonna go for now, but barring anything else that will add to the tragedy of the year, I will try to post more regularly, and you are always free to email me if you are so inclined. *points up* Love and Peace to you all... Audra Date: October 31, 1999 14:28 Poster: Annie - England First of all just want to apologise if I've upset anybody with my previous comment. Honestly, didn't mean to. Now, onto the message by Sue who listed her favourite Kristen Hall songs. I have to say I have so many, but what first comes to mind are the songs on the album "Be Careful What You Wish For". I bought this album down in London in Oxford Street's HMV store a few years ago, and have to say it still ranks as my fav. all time album. There are so many beautiful songs on there but the ones I would pick would be "Just So You Know", "Moment In A Day", "Nothing", "Open Arms", and "Let It Rain". You know, I keep saying on here how much I would love to hear Kristen sing these and other songs live, but probably realising I never will. Kristen, I will always live in hope. Thanks. Date: November 01, 1999 00:35 Poster: April. just a point..everything here *is* Kristen related, because we all have a love for her music, talent and the woman herself. So, if someone wants to post something that *doesn't* contain the word "Kristen", are we to complain about that ? Let's, by all means, remember that this is Kristen's web site, but lets also remember we are all not only fans, but also individual people with individual opinions..and you've all just got an earful of mine !! And I wont apologize for that. Date: November 01, 1999 19:43 Poster: morrgigs@aol.com Hello Kristen, My name is Rod E. Morris. I played "Let it rain" for you on your guitar @ the "Grey Eagle" a year or so ago. Do you remember?I also played one of my songs for you.You asked me to play it@ your show when you came back to Black Mountain.But I was in Nashville when you came to Asheville. I was bummed to miss you .Then Iheard you moved to L.A. I hope to seeya in Asheville N.C.soon. Bye, Roddy. Date: November 02, 1999 15:06 Poster: dm I was recently introduced to Kristen Hall's music and have fallen in love with her talent. I am interested in seeing her play live. If anyone hears of any shows she may be doing in the Northeast (NY, Mass, PA, Conn.) Please let me know.... My email is : D_BLANCHARD@CFTD.ORG Thanks!!!!! Date: November 04, 1999 17:15 Poster: an ear to the ground and an eye in the sky....anatomy of a contact !! Hey everybody, go to the Michelle Malone web site and check out her photos page for a neat shot of Kristen. ..then come straight back here, ok !!!!

Date: November 06, 1999 13:18 Poster: martine (martine@intranet.org) To whomever asked - hello? anonymous postings? no email addresses? don't be shy people - leave some contact info so that posters can get back in touch if need be. Guy Kaiser, tabmeister extraordinaire, has just sent the tabs for 'You Don't Know'. They're up on the tabs page - take a look, try 'em out, take 'em out for a test spin and let everyone know what you think. And if anyone has any alternate tablature they'd like to share, or just more tabs in general, please drop me a note. Martine Date: November 06, 1999 16:44 Poster: A not-so-descriptive April in Spring Hey, *thanks* Guy, I've been hanging out for those !! And I love the "apologies to Kristen Hall" bit !! ..thank God she can't hear us "attempt" her songs..a-hem... Date: November 07, 1999 11:18 Poster: Guy I hope that works April. Yeah, I'm a terrible singer, and I always feel like I'm messing up someone's work. I'm not too sure I got the lyrics right. My favorite on that cassette is Million Years. Date: November 08, 1999 02:08 Poster: A 'not so vocal-as literal' April...getting over a cold... Hey Guy, my fave off that tape is You Don't Know, but I love the passion she sings Memory #1 with, and also the incredible vocals on Easier Than This... Date: November 11, 1999 09:57 Poster: Barb Hi everyone! I've been reading this board since it started, but haven't posted much. However, I wanted to cast my vote for the top 3 Kristen songs! Although it's hard to choose just three, I would have to pick "Following My Compass", "Island", and "Mary". In response to Audra, yes, 1999 has been a tough year. For me, it all started in January with the death of my grandfather, one of the greatest people I've ever known, and it just went downhill from there. My partner of 4 years and I separated a few months ago as well, and even though things are looking up for our relationship, (we'll be back together for good in no time!), '99 has really, really sucked! So Audra, I'm so sorry for the losses you've suffered this year. I, too, have found solace in Kristen's music; she has an incredible gift, doesn't she? Kristen, you are amazingly talented. There is no songwriter I admire more. Thanks for reading! Date: November 11, 1999 17:57 Poster: Art Silva Kristen - You mentioned that you were friends with Joanna de Seyne and had collaborated on some pieces. Are there any recordings available of these works?? Also, has Joanna signed with any record companies? And, does she have any recordings herself I can get hold of? Date: November 12, 1999 20:29 Poster: Jackie Hi, my friend and I will be flying from Boston to Atlanta next month to see Kristen at Eddie's. Can anyone estimate how early we'll need to get there to get a number? I realize the doors don't open until 4 P.M. for numbers. Is there usually a line? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to make the trip and not get in!! Please e-mail me at ROP1@aol.com (that's the number one, not an the letter l). Thanks!! Date: November 15, 1999 18:32 Poster: shannon carlson hey kristen whats rockin'? can you take a stab at possible dates for the west coast san diego or l.a.?- i don't wanna have to fly all the way to memphis again-remember rhodes college that silly girl that interviewed you ? Date: November 23, 1999 22:58 Poster: April The excitement and anticipation is getting almost unbearable....can't wait for the new CD...ahhh what the heck...I'll wait !! Date: November 24, 1999 07:23 Poster: GE Kristen, Saw Amy & Emily at UGA last month. Never expected to see you. I must admit, that was the highlight of the show. Your music has meant so much to me throughout the years, a heartfelt "thank you". Can't wait to get new CD. I've been out of the loop for a while but used to see you quite alot when I lived in Atlanta. Nice to have you back in GA. Take care, Date: November 25, 1999 04:27 Poster: Brent Everyone going to Eddie's Attic for the release party will be able to buy the new album, but what about the rest of us? Will it be available nationally through the big, corporate on-line cd sources? Or through Ladyslipper? Or do I have to call Eddie and ask him for a copy? We wouldn't mind if you came to San Francisco, Kristen. I'm sure you could draw in a large, appreciative audience of me, my teammate, and all the folk-loving lesbians! And to "hmmmm..." from about a month ago - My top three Kristen Hall songs would be: 1) Just So You Know 2) Heaven Knows 3) Unskinny Bop (....oh, wait a minute, that would be a song by Poison, wouldn't it.....Maybe Kristen can start doing covers???) Date: November 25, 1999 16:27 Poster: April..not the creative one... well...Daemon, as far as i know, will be stocking Kristen's new release, as they always do... perhaps Martine could confirm that..?.. -Maybe even this time Kristen will have something on the ordering page that you could get from this site..?...(Kristen..?...) You know, some t shirts wouldn't go astray !!! you could even put the web site addy on them somewhere inconspicuous, yet visible. ?? Date: November 25, 1999 16:33 Poster: April..again..doesn't the year go fast !! ..unskinny bop..???....No one does Be My Baby better than Kristen !! ..then again, no one does Kristen's songs better than Kristen !! In fact, what a good question for the board...What cover/s do you think Kristen should do..?..(Gershwin, anybody..?..) Date: November 27, 1999 20:20 Poster: (Mimi) Mooodeee@aol.com Hey Kristen! It's November 27th and I've got the blues. I'm stuck here tonight in Austin, listening to your old CD's wishing I could be with you and the regulars at the Attic tonight. I moved from Atlanta to Austin in 1997 and haven't been able to see you play since. I just wanted to let you know, you've got a Texas fan there with you tonight in spirit. Love, Mimi Date: November 28, 1999 23:26 Poster: andrew someody please explain. the last time i had checkec this site it hadn't been active for awhile. i've been living here in la waiting to see kristen for more than just an indigo girls guest appearance. is there a new album? a tour? i am so confused as to if she is even still in la, but i don't want to miss her. if some kind soul can e-mail me at tightyweitz@Mindless.com i would be forever indebted. i may even have a high quality bootleg of a show in scranton PA from a few years ago if anyone can help. thanks and happy holidays to everybody ... andrew Date: November 30, 1999 22:21 Poster: April FYI..Andrew's been brought up to date...So, who's going to Eddies on the 11th ???

What are you up to Scotti ?? Date: December 03, 1999 10:41 Poster: Sandra V. Hey, all you KHer's!!! I am anxious about getting my hands on your new CD, Kristen! I understand Daemon Records will have it but I don't think they have the arrangements finalized. Martine, what's the scoop?! Just got back from a most memorable vacation in Australia (Brisbane area.) I turned my friends down there onto Kristen's music. We spent wonderful nights around a campfire playing and singing Million Years, Heaven Knows, Moment In A Day, Following My Compass, Howie, etc. Kristen, I have decided...I WILL see you perform live at least once in my life! Since you haven't come to Austin, I'm going to have to drive up to Atlanta to catch a show. Best Regards To All, sandra@tamiu.edu Date: December 03, 1999 15:07 Poster: Martine (martine@intranet.org) Sandra, The scoop is this: Daemon will be distributing Kristen's new CD 'California Made Music' and are taking pre-orders now. The CD will cost $12, with $4.25 for priority s/h and will be shipped on either the 10th or the 13th. There are ten songs on CMM, written during Kristen's time in L.A. and it's a beautiful disc. If you've been to any of the recent shows in the Atlanta area, you'll have heard a few of these already. Tiny plug: This site had its genesis as a fan site. It's since evolved from that and on the 11th, we'll be opening up the official site, located at www.kristenhall.com. Check it out then. All the best, Martine Date: December 03, 1999 16:08 Poster: Minneapolis Lynn I just pre-ordered the new CD and I can't wait!!! I will not be able to make it down for the CD release later this month....one of the major disadvantages of not living in Atlanta....but I do hope to make it down in the near future for a show! Hope you all have a great weekend! Peace, Lynn Date: December 03, 1999 16:36 Poster: April Just a comment: "whoo-hoo" !! Date: December 04, 1999 13:04 Poster: Pamela HEY KRISTEN, It has been 10 years since I first heard you on a tape I received from a friend. The last song on the tape had the following lyrics: " I gave you a boat so you could sail around the world. I watched you drift away into the sun. I dreamed about you out there in those vast wide open spaces. I wondered if you missed me, and all our favorite places..." Well the tape was of poor quality and not long for this world so I went shopping for the album. When I got home with Real Life Stuff the song wasn't on it. I have been looking for the song and singing what I remember for a couple of years now and I just got a computer so I thought I would drop you a line. Your songs have helped me to be a better friend and a happier person. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have recommended Real Life Stuff to friends in need. I would love to buy the album with the boat song but I don't know where to find it or which one it is! Please help and thanks. Pamela Date: December 04, 1999 13:19 Poster: Pamela I forgot to tell you I'm in Reno, NV. Since the early days i've gone from a homeless ski bum to sheltered and employed ... you were there the whole way. I will fly to see you soon. My company headquarters is in Atlanta so I am as happy as the rest to see you back! Bless you woman. You rock. Date: December 04, 1999 22:58 Poster: Martine (martine@intranet.org) Pamela, The song you refer to is 'Island' and can be found on the reissues of 'Real Life Stuff.' This disc is available through Daemon. Check out http://home.intranet.org/kristen_hall/rls.html for all of the lyrics. Martine Date: December 05, 1999 23:55 Poster: Pamela Thank you so much! I ordered today and am looking forward to receiving it. Take care. Pamela Date: December 06, 1999 14:25 Poster: Excited about the week end... ..we treat you right, here at Kristen Hall... Date: December 06, 1999 15:53 Poster: kristen hall hey ya'll! i am really looking forward to saturday night. playing at eddie's has to be one of my favorite things. martine and i have begun to set up kristenhall.com, so you can look for that real soon. i bought a didital camera so we can show you lots of things like my new studio, dog, haircut, etc. eventually we'll be adding videos, interviews, downloads of music and songbooks. it will be FANtastic. eventually we'll add an online store with cd's, posters, t-shirts, and links to other artists i've worked with. by now you've discovered that daemon records is going to be selling "California Made Music" so, until we're up and running, you can buy cd's there. i'll be anxious for you to hear "CMM". i feel it's the best collection of songs i've recorded by far. i'll check back in a couple weeks to see what you think. until then, be safe.... i'll see ya :) -kristen Date: December 07, 1999 15:05 Poster: Annie - england Just want to say how much I'm looking forward to hearing Kristen's new record and hope I'll be able to order it from over here. I'm also really looking forward to the new site as this is the only way I can hear all what Kristen is up to and share all the news and info. You chaps are so lucky to be able to go and see her play live and maybe get the chance to have a chat with her. I don't think we'll ever see her in this country again. Still, I know for sure I'll always be here playing her music and wishing her well. Kristen, one thing, how will you be spending your Christmas this year? Cheers. Annie Date: December 07, 1999 22:53 Poster: April..sweating down under T shirts....did she say t shirts !! ...ahhh cool.. At last I'll be able to wear my heart on my sleeve....or her name on my front...or something to that effect..Hey, you should put the web addy on them too !! Oh yeah, can't wait to see your dog !! (oh, and your haircut...yeah, very important ) Where's my iced tea got to..?.... Date: December 10, 1999 10:28 Poster: Audra (tisara@webworqs.com) Just wanted to throw in my faves on the KH song thread (at least for today!): Just So You Know *sniff* Island *sighs* Prey To You Will post more soon. Must run to job number 2! *heh* Love, peace and Happy Holidays to you all... Audra Date: December 12, 1999 13:17 Poster: April So, come on, where's the concert reviews....??? Date: December 13, 1999 10:38 Poster: Alyssa Hey Kristen, My girlfriend and I flew down to Atlanta this past weekend to hear you. Boy are we glad we did! Your show was wonderful, worth every minute of air travel! Maybe someday you'll travel to Boston for a show, they will love you up here too! Date: December 13, 1999 15:09 Poster: scottish squrrrl (alba1009@mindspring.com) hello there gang, so, ummm, martine kindly asked me to provide a review from saturday, so buckle in and i will be your reviewer for this evening..... so, first things first, i have to say how much i enjoy the new cd. great job kristen! :) onto the show...kristen admitted to being nervous again but it didn't show in her performance. she played a lot of the new songs first, and had her california friends mark and judith playing and singing on a couple of them. very cool to hear them "stripped down" in comparison to what's on the cd. then she did oldies - peaches, let it rain, *island*, following my compass, the song about michael bowers (ga politician, it was hilarious)....ummm, that's all i can remember off the top of my head. she overran the first set by 20 minutes. :o oh yeah and she finished with the rollerskate song....great singalong by the audience! and (it's all coming back to me now) a brand new song called tumbleweed that she wrote while in las vegas w/ the ig. second show. mark and judith opened and did a fabulous job. judith has an amazing voice, mark plays guitar like a god (and does great backup vox). i have to apologise to them for the noisy people in the back who would not shutup (grrrrrr pet peeve). if anybody on this list lives in atlanta, judith is opening for scout on wednesday at eddie's, i'd recommend checking them out if you get a chance. back to kristen..... more new stuff with judith and mark again. oldies? let it rain, howie (sans eddie, his mom was having heart surgery, so everybody please keep mrs. owens in your thoughts and prayers). i love howie cause of the scotland references. :) trouble times, wish i may(? i think), i gave everything. oh and a soooo funny song about her dog to the tune of freefalling by tom petty called throwballing. <bg> "she's a good dog". phew! a great evening of music. :) kristen, i had such a fun time, please play again soon. :) toodle-pip, gail (the scottish one) Date: December 14, 1999 10:41 Poster: Sandra V. Thanks for the show review up there! I'll make it to a KH show one day if it's the last thing I do!!!!! Just got my CMM cd in the mail yesterday. Played it all night long! I totally love that first track, Nothing Matters: "...nothing matters til someone matters more than you." That line is so cool! I'm enjoying the cd thoroughly. Thanks for your music...it's great to hear your voice again on new material, Kristen! Much Love, Sandra Date: December 14, 1999 10:57 Poster: K2 Kristen is back and better then ever. The CD release party at the Attic was wonderful. My friends and I stayed for both shows. 5 hours on a wooden stool and the only time my butt hurt was when Kristen stopped singing. And Kristen, if you are reading these... Welcome home. You were missed! Date: December 14, 1999 14:05 Poster: Denise Great site-good work girls!! No more *thwaping* about!!:) Date: December 14, 1999 21:38 Poster: carole in abbeville, sc i was totally amazed throughout the evening at eddie's...though i have been a fan of kristens for several years, i had never heard her play live. it was a most amazing time. the clarity of her voice, the rhythm, the was kristen worked with judith and marc was artful. on the front row by the christmas tree i was on the edge of my chair the entire evening. i found kristen to be a very warm, giving woman.....much as i had anticipated. kristen, thanks for the oddly printed cd you gave me after the show....hope i was not too obnoxious...i had WAY too many Coronas (if obnoxious..please forgive)...by the way....you've got the address and number....i'll cook just let me know what you like. i'm also trying to connect up with the woman in the back selling cd's for kristen. you wanted my indigio girls button up henley...we need to hook up....my email is chille37@aol.com.... let's see what we can work out carole Date: December 14, 1999 22:06 Poster: April....now here's a girl who can't wait !!... ..sounds like a hot chillie woman up there !!! -sounds as though the show and new songs were great..can't wait for my new cd to arrive. Great new site...(can't wait for the shirts !!..) Date: December 16, 1999 16:17 Poster: Lynn in MN I love the CD! It arrived in the mail a few days ago, and it immediately found it's way into the CD player where it has since remained....<sigh>....I just love it. Now, Ms. Carole in SC, if you have some sort of nifty IG thing, you better not look to anyone else but moi...and if you're gonna cook for Kristen, well, it might be time for me to fly down for another family visit...I have already started putting all of Kristen's CD's on tape for the June road trip. Later hun. Peace from the frigid north, Lynn Date: December 17, 1999 07:22 Poster: princeton how come nobody's posted in three months? now that we have our most wonderful kristen hall back home where she belongs (okay, so that's *my* opinion), everybody ought to be raving about her recent shows at eddie's, which were both fabulous. of course, maybe there are millions of posts, and i just can't see them for some reason...that would be more typical. so, has anyone had any trouble playing kh's new cd? i have a pretty old cd player, and it just coughs and hiccups and repeats. i tried friends' cds, and they did the same thing. am i going to have to get a whole new stereo just to listen to this new cd??? Date: December 17, 1999 21:43 Poster: shannon Kristen, Just wanted to tell you that the show at Eddie's was great. You were such a light for me that night:) We talked after the second show. I told you about my dog...and you gave me your friend's number. Thank you so much. Can't wait to see you again....:) Date: December 18, 1999 14:44 Poster: Mr Potato Head Hey Princeton, perhaps you should contact the lovely folks at Daemon..you never know, maybe you got a (once in a blue moon) faulty CD. ..It happened to me once with an Icehouse cd...It 'does' happen sometimes...Take it to a record shop, and see if they wont try it for you..you could be advertising Kristen at the same time !!..then again, it may just be your crappy old player !!.. Date: December 19, 1999 13:27 Poster: Carlyne F. Well, I just want to say that after reading all of your comments ladies (and some of you guys) I feel pretty fortunate that i live right here in Kristen home of choice (Atlanta) :) I get to see her sing everytime and can't get enough ! We love you KH Date: December 19, 1999 16:58 Poster: April... ..yeah, we're all jealous being interpretation !!...(boo hoo) Date: December 19, 1999 21:53 Poster: Carlyne F. (the french lady) To Princeton, Your CD Player is fine...I bought 2 of Kristen's last CD and they both malfunctioned...i returned one already and got another one...but same story :( She knows about the first one but haven't had a chance to tell her about the others ! I still listen to it because it still plays even though skipping once in a while... The One in the music box at Eddie's Attic is also not playing well (i checked this weekend). I am sure she'll get the whole thing straight with the recording company and get some $$$ back or something... Take care :) Date: December 20, 1999 08:00 Poster: Rugbygirl If you couldn't already guess, the new album "California- Made Songs" ROCKS!!!! You are the best, Kristen!!!! FYI...Daemon Records has the CD if you're still looking... Date: December 20, 1999 11:24 Poster: Sandra V. Howdy! I too am experiencing skipping problems with the 2 cd's I bought. Evidently, something went wrong in the producing process. Kristen, I hope you don't lose out. BTW, Hand Upon Heart and Silence is Golden are terrific tunes, Kristen! PLUG: If you're ever looking for a backup singer to do harmonies, let me know! Much Love to Everyone, Sandra Date: December 20, 1999 14:40 Poster: April I don't know if she *could* get some $$'s back people..I mean, it 'is' an independant release...didn't *she* do everything ? If not, she'd have plenty of witnesses to call in court...what day suits everyone ? (anyone know a judge ?)..At least you're all buying it, and everyone likes it..even the "edited" versions..everyone should skip around and sing to the cd, that way, you wont know the difference when the CD skips !!...or you could always just send her a cheque..the "payback for Kristen" fund...so she can re-record it (just kidding guys...just kidding...) Merry Christmas everybody !! Date: December 21, 1999 14:33 Poster: Guy I don't know if this is helpful, but my older NAD CD player refuses to read some newly made discs but will read a CD-R made from the disc. I haven't gotten my CMM yet to try it. But since I believe strongly in supporting independents, I suggest you keep buying them until you find one that works :) Date: December 21, 1999 15:27 Poster: April ..great marketing ploy Guy...perhaps you could get a job in advertising with Kristen !! :) Date: December 24, 1999 20:34 Poster: Jay Levitt Wow! This is great. I used to play Kristen's stuff (and Michelle's, and IGs) when I was a street performer a few years back. I hadn't listened to Kristen in a long time (I can no longer sing her an octave down, and I never could sing in the right octave). But I saw someone do "Let It Rain" at an open mic last night, and I remembered how much I loved it, so I popped Fact & Fiction into the CD player and had a blast! I have some additional and alternate tabs for her songs here somewhere. Does anyone know where I can send them to get posted? The page just says "let me know", doesn't say who "me" is. :) Date: December 25, 1999 09:34 Poster: Guy Hi Jay, "me" is the wonderful and marvelous Martine at martine@aracnet.com -Merry Christmas everybody! Date: December 25, 1999 16:13 Poster: Shannon hoping everyone's having a great holiday:) i've been [[[trapped]]]] in Kentucky for the holidays, ive had you with me kristen, making things much easier to take in this small ky town:) i've come to the conclusion that most of the people here are for the most part very homophobic...sad and it makes me feel very alone:( *sigh*...but i'll be back home in good ol Decatur,GA before ya know it:) take care everyone....and have a happy holiday...:) -s Date: December 26, 1999 15:18 Poster: April..Australians breed 'em like that ! Here's a dumb ??, is Kentucky where KFC originated ?? Sounds stupid but it's a serious question !!..anybody ? Date: December 26, 1999 19:24 Poster: Shannon musicgrrl22@hotmail.com april- To answer your question, I would have to say yes:) This is my first time here, and when I got to the airport there was all kinds of "KFC history" Yes, amazingly enough girls and boys there is quite a bit of it, too:) But, quite frankly, being a vegetarian, none of it really interested me:) I'm coming home tomorrow:) yea!:)I'm sure everyone cares..haha... hey does anyone know if Kristen will be playing at Eddies on new years? -s Date: December 27, 1999 01:20 Poster: April ..thanks Shannon...I'd be keeping an eye on the Eddie's Attic web site if I were you..although Martine's pretty much on the ball here when anyone hears of Kristen doing another show, it will be her. -Oh, and have a nice trip home !! Date: December 27, 1999 08:01 Poster: Kristen Hall hey everyone:) i'm so sorry that some of you are having problems with the new cd. i kinda think that it has to do with technology and that these cd's are fine in a current player with 16bit + format. (older cd players are not having an easy go of it). however, i'm enthusiastic about making it all good. so, please be patient while i get it sorted out. i want everyone to be happy. if you live in the atlanta area and need to exchange cd's... i will leave some at eddie's attic that you can exchange for new ones. if it still skips after that, you may want a refund. i am in the process of dealing with the manufacturer.... i'll keep you posted. all that aside, i'm SO happy that you're enjoying what you hear. if my production skills are pleasing to the ear, i will push forward and spring new stuff on you all the time. i hope the holidays have treated you kindly and that the new year finds us all happy and prosperous. mucho amore' kristen :) ps. martine, you rock! Date: December 27, 1999 13:04 Poster: Janet Hello all! I'm new to the list but not to Kristen Hall's music. She's held her place on the soundtrack of my life since 1990 and I'm extremely enthusiastic about the potential to see her live again and to add some new tunes to the memory bank. Kristen, unbeknownst to you, you have helped me cope with most of life's challenges and been an integral part of the celebrations as well. Keep it coming. We've missed you. Come back to NC soon! Hope everyone has a safe and memorable start to the new year. Date: December 27, 1999 15:48 Poster: April..Christmas in summertime... ..Is it showing our ages to know we have "older" cd players ??..:) Next Christmas we'll all be asking for a newer kind I should imagine !! ..it's just one of those silly things that happen sometimes..I wouldn't ask for a refund for the world ! But I'm sure we all hope that the manufacturer is understanding and kind to you. ..or we'll all gang up on him/her !! ..and feel free to "spring" some new stuff on us whenever you feel the creative urge !! Date: December 28, 1999 09:59 Poster: rainbogrrlz@aol.com Are there any dates lined up for Kristen as of Jan??? Date: December 29, 1999 09:45 Poster: Kathy Bognar & Kathy Bartson Hey!! We want to hear from you!!. We have discovered you moved to Atlanta. Maybe that's why we haven't heard from you. Looks like you have been really busy. We will wait to hear from you. So, please, please, please, please call. Or if you don't have our numbers please email: bbartson@aol.com and bogs1@prodigy.net Hope to hear from you soon. Lots of love, Kathy and Kathy Date: December 29, 1999 15:14 Poster: Annie - england Just wanted to ask if anyone can tell me where to buy the new Kristen Hall CD. I presume I can order it from Daemon records tho my computer keeps crashing out everytime I reach the site, or any site at the moment. I love Kristen's music and just want to get hold of her latest CD as soon as possible. Also, I've never ordered a CD via the internet as I'm a bit dubious about giving my credit card details. Can anyone recommend anything to me? Or maybe I'll just give Daemon a ring after the Xmas holidays and order it via the phone. Anyway, hope everyone had a great Christmas, and you too Kristen, and wish all you chaps the most happiest and healthiest of New Year's. And Kristen, how about a trip over to England in the New Year? Date: December 29, 1999 15:43 Poster: April..in sunshine for the 1st time in 2 weeks !! Hey Annie, you can order from Daemon through the mail, if you go to a bank and get a 'draft' for the amount in US dollars, or use your credit card..you just go to the site, when you can, print out the order form, and away you go. If you can't get to the site, just let 'em know clearly what you want. They got CMM for 12 bucks, Thumbprint for 12, RLS cd's for 12, tapes for 7, and overseas post is 11 bucks extra. send it to po box 1207, Decatur, GA 30031. USA. Date: December 30, 1999 07:51 Poster: tisara@webworqs.com Happy Holidays all! My life has been crazy - and now is no different but I had a few minutes to pop in and say hello before I go away for the New Year celebrations tomorrow. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a safe and happy New Year. I was thinking that it might behoove me to start flying down to Atlanta *heh* I keep reading about all these great stories from concerts at Eddie's and I'm *JEALOUS*! :) Take care... Love, Audra Date: December 30, 1999 10:55 Poster: Annie - england AWHITIE@aol.com Thanks April, I've always gone to the bank previously to order my CD's from Daemon Records. Just didnt know if there was a quicker way of doing it and also I grudge forking out another %A310 to the bank just for the International money order. However, no other way of doing it I guess. Wonder if the CD will be in any record stores as I'm off down to London next week. Anyway, thanks for your help mate. Was also wondering what people on this site are listening to other than Kristen. Would be interested to know others musical tastes. And Kristen, who are you listening to these days, any CDs and singers you can recommend? Am also interested in hearing from other people on this site, just for a chin wag now and again. If you want to have a chat with someone from England my e mail is at the top. All for now Date: December 31, 1999 04:01 Poster: Annie Just to say that I've now order Made in America. Rang Daemon Records yesterday and spoke to a really pleasant lady, Andrea, who is going to ship me a copy over and at half the cost of a CD over here in England. She did say it may skip tho, as I know there have been a few problems, but hopefully it'll be ok. So now I cant wait to listen to it. Well, New Years Eve and I'd just like to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. All the best to Martine who runs this great site and of course to Kristen. Annie Date: December 31, 1999 04:10 Poster: Annie again Ooops, sorry. Have just watched the video Made in America, hence the mistake. You all knew what CD I meant tho. Date: December 31, 1999 15:41 Poster: April....Australian made, born and bred since '69 ...and speaking of web site praises, let's not forget Chris..(Chris, you still out there..?..) .. ..well, it's new years day in oz, we made it down here, without any dramas, hope you go ok up there aswell... Oh, and Annie, glad you got the cd ordered..Andrea's cool.. perhaps Kristen should market it as the skipping cd..whatever happened to the double dutch anyway..?..rope anybody ??..(it's still your best cd Kristen !!...esp Silence Is Golden !!..) Date: December 31, 1999 19:32 Poster: Martine (martine@intranet.org) Hey hey hey, Happy New Year to everyone - all the board regulars, and Chris (who's still very much out there! Ha ha. Just kidding, dude) and Kristen. Be safe everyone and enjoy yourselves! And thanks for making the board and the site what it is. It wouldn't be there without your input and support. Yall are great.
