Location: Omaha, NE | Dave, that's fantastic! She is quite a musician, and deserves all the success she is enjoying!
I have to thank you for a little moment I had a few weeks ago. I was driving in my car when one of my daughters popped the soundtrack to August Rush into the CD player. I hadn't seen the movie, but immediately recognized Kaki's distinctive sound.
Me: "Do you know who that is?"
Rebecca: "Yeah, its that kid from the movie."
Me: "No way. That's Kaki King. I'd recognize her playing anywhere. Her dad posts from time to time on some of the guitar boards I hang out on."
At which point, for just a moment, my daughter though I was ever so slightly less completely lame than normal.
So thanks for that! |

Location: atlanta | Thanks for the kind words everybody. Here's a pre-show photo from Melbourne that I thought interesting. It appears to be Dave Grohl conducting an impromptu drum lesson for Kaki and the rest of the band:

I would've put the photo in this thread but I've forgotten how.
