Hi All.  
 
I just locked in the month of November playing Saturdays at the Casa Luna 6:00ish-8:00ish.  Sweet.  
 
Anyway, plenty of time for those so inclined to make plans to visit beautiful downtown Poulsbo, enjoy a meal at the Casa Luna and enjoy the music.  If, those so inclined do so, please feel free to introduce yourself.  That would be very cool.  
 
Best Regards,
 
Kimberly

New videos.  
 
'Didgeridoodoo'
 
A clip taken at the Global Bean Coffee Traders 11/09/07.  While warming up prior to the gig and looking for a different flute voicing, I 'stumbled' over a didgeridoo in my Roland GR-20 synth.  After a bit of 'noodlin' around with  a didgeridoo rhythm, a blending of flute and bass voicings and a little help from Carlos, 'Didgeridoodoo' was born.
 

 
 
'GrooviE'
 
A clip from Friday 11/09/07 at the Global Bean Coffee Traders in Silverdale, WA. An 'E' groove using an RC-50 looper with a bass and 'guitar' line looping and accompanying a lead bass melody.
 
 
 
 
'FunkAy'
 
A clip from a performance at the Global Bean Coffee Trader in Silverdale, WA taken 11/09/07. A tune with three looper parts (bass and two 'guitar' rhythms) supporting a lead bass melody/solo.  
 

 
Best Regards,
 
Kimberly  

Pretty cool Kimberly!

Thanks Dave.  

Last two videos from the Global Bean gig 11/09/07.
 
'Got Blues?'
 
A 'study in evolution' comparison with the previous version from my first solo gig in January '07. Taped at the Global Bean Coffee Traders in Silverdale, WA 11/09/07. A twelve bar blues using two looping parts and one synthesizer voicing for the Moody Sax solo section. And of course stand alone bass for the lead melody/solo sections.  
 

 
 
'Keaggy Groove'
 
Inspired by Phil Keaggy's 'Salvation Army Band'. Another study in evolution from the previous version captured from my first solo gig in January '07. Taped at the Global Bean Coffee Traders in Silverdale, WA 11/09/07. Three looping parts, one stand alone Alembic bass and yours truly.

Didgeridoo, my favorite instrument... it's the sound of life.

I love the Got Blues piece!  The sax part is nice.
 
By the way; the audio/video quality of these latest videos seems much nicer than the previous vids.  I'm guessing it's a combination of better lighting and better camera placement.  Both the notes from your bass and the smile on your face are much clearer.  In fact, these last five videos really show off the very nice stuff you're doing with your plucking hand.  I'm really enjoying watching these videos!

Hi Guys.  
 
Hi Paul - I was rather bemused when I came across the didgeridoo in my synth, but interestingly enough it was kinda easy to feel that 'natural groove' and run with it.  The rest is as 'they' say, history.  
 
Hi Dave - Seems like I'm sending a lot of thank you's your way, not that I mind.  
 
  I agree with this latest batch of videos being of better quality with both audio and visual.  In looking back to 'the early days' I'm somewhat disturbed at the poor quality of both the audio and visual.  However, for historical record etc, I feel an obligation to leave 'em there.
 
I'll try and see about getting someone to get close ups of my plucking hand 'in action'.  You'll see it's a unique 'Kimberlyesque' style, if for no other reason than being digitally challenged and now that I think about it, 'upside down'.  I'm sure you also noticed I'm playing a lot of closed string harmonics here of late using my thumb as the mute.  I'm not sure if I can even play any more without using that technique, as it's become such a habit not to mention fun. (Especially when I 'hit one' just right and it just sings.  I love my Alembic.)    
 
Back on topic, I'm really glad you're enjoying my 'stuff'.  Bottom line, I'm having a gas.  
 
Best Regards,
 
Kimberly  

I've been using that same technique a lot recently too.

Hi Guys.  
 
Dave - It's fun isn't it?  
 
New haps.

Hi Guys.  
 
I just booked into a new venue which takes me 'across the water' (Puget Sound) and into what's known as the 'Eastside' (a corridor of small and not so small towns and the small city of Bellevue on the eastern side of Lake Washington, pretty much suburbs of Seattle, though industrialized and commercialized as with most peripheral areas of metropolitan areas these days).
 
Anyway...
