Well, when I got home from work on Friday evening, there was a little
package sitting waiting for me. I was in such a hurry though, that I
didn't take the time to open it up. Wow, was that a mistake! I should
have stayed home Friday night and listened to "Warpaint" all night long.
I can't remember the last time I was this impressed by a new artist!
I'm gonna order all the cassettes tomorrow, and then wait anxiously
for the mail to arrive. I'll cancel all plans until I have time to
listen to each one several times.
So, tell me more about Happy Rhodes. Where is she from? Does she play
live? Why hasn't David Lynch signed her up to do the soundtrack
for his next movie? What can we do to help make her famous?
Tom

I live in Albany. There's got to be some other readers here from the Albany area (I know of at least one). How about an Albany Katemas? And how about... inviting Ms. Rhodes? Ooooh, the heart just POUNDS! :-) A Happy Katemas! I know, I know. She's probably too shy. She doesn't know us. It'd be weird. Her boyfriend won't like it. My mother won't like it. Happy won't like my cooking. My grilfriend would get jealous. But I can dream, can't I? Derek L... -- + + "When nothing else remains, one must scream.

Vickie says she used to play occasionally around Albany with Kevin, but that they haven't done it in a while... >Why hasn't David Lynch signed her up to do the soundtrack >for his next movie? Because the music industry doesn't know she exists... <sigh> >What can we do to help make her famous? Ya got me. One idea might be to call your local alternative station (you know, the only station in town that even thinks about playing KaTe) and requesting a song; naturally, they'll have no idea who you're talking about. Maybe you could loan them your CD...;-) Here's a bit of info that's a bit meatier...it's excerpted from a letter Happy sent me last August, when I wrote for a catalog and asked a couple of questions... "I started writing music when I was approximately 14, and I started recording when I was 18. I'm now 25. My main instrument was, and is, the accoustic [sic] guitar, but I've never considered myself a virtuoso on any one instrument. The four cassetes from which you've heard excerpts, were recorded by myself alone, over a period of about 2 years. Back then, I would record and mix about 3 songs a night. I would usually lay down accoustic [sic] guitar first, or drums, then layer on any other parts. Last would be the vocals." <sigh> Back in August, when this was written, she was still hoping to have _Warpaint_ out in mid-fall. Well, it was worth the wait anyhow... Hope this has proven interesting. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.
