From: "Jeff Krasno"
To: "'David King'"
Subject: your daughter

Kaki will be on Conan O’Brien Thursday night, October 16. National TV on a major network. Pretty unbelievable.
Best,
Jeff

The Conan gig suddenly developed yesterday. The musician originally scheduled to appear cancelled and Kaki was apparently on their short list. Serendipity helped--her final Mike Gordon show is tonight in NYC at Irving Plaza.
Conan's show also airs on Comedy Central tomorrow at 6pm.

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Just finished watching her, and she, as usual, did a great job. Konan seemed very impressed but the audience that counts, gave her a very solid and loud applause, and she was playing her Ovation and it sounded very good. All in all, a very good appearance on a nationwide show, and she, IMHO, outshone the rest of the guests. She gave a blast of fresh air to what was becoming boring.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I mentioned this in another thread but it's worth repeating I think.
I really like the way Conan presented her. No ignorant speech about "new artist" or "rising talent." He presented her just as Kaki King, leaving the average viewer in the position of not wanting to be the one idiot on the block (or at the coffee pot tomorrow morning) to ask "who was that?".. They are thinking she's on Conan, she's obviously "somebody" and I better get up to speed. That's the way it should be done, and Kaki better be prepared for the big rush that's going to happen. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | Incredible! How does she do that? I agree with Conan, can she teach me how to play like that? Probably not, I have enough trouble playing a good solid B without thinking about playing it with my RIGHT HAND while tapping on the strings with my left. Great Job! |

I'm willing to bet there will be a few Kaki CD's flying out of the shops in the next week or so.

Conan is a guitar player. He appreciates guitars and guitarists. I met him at a couple of guitar shows. Nice guy. very tall.
I missed the show, I fell asleep. |

Location: Yucaipa, California | One scene was cool.... after Kaki finished playing, Conan stepped on stage next to her and the difference in their heights was striking! Sure made Kaki look like a little girl with a BIG guitar standing next to her "daddy"... whatever her physical stature, her stature as a musician is unsurpassed!

Location: atlanta | Thanks everybody for the kind words. At the moment, I'm overwhelmed with emails and voicemails about it.
So, to all who have inquired:
Conan's show is rebroadcast today (Friday) on Comedy Central at 6pm (EDT). Kaki appears in the last 10 minutes.
More later.

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Kaki was great! She just stood there and played the hell out of that Adamas. I taped it and watched it over a few time wondering how such a small woman has such strong hands! Really good stuff. Did everyone see Conan checking our her Adamas at the end of the show? |

Location: Colorado | WOW!! Kaki King--Queen of the Ovation Adamas.
Recorded it on my satelite hard-drive and watched it this afternoon. Never having heard a note from Ms. King before, my expectations were pretty high--I was not disappointed. Tons of talent in a tiny package.
I'd love to see her in Boulder, but I'm right in the middle of finishing my basement and trying to complete it before Thanksgiving. I'll try to find her CD and listen to some more though.
If anyone hasn't seen it and missed their chance, I'd be willing to transfer it to VHS, make a list of those who want to see it, and once someone has seen it they can send it on to the next person who wants it. Anyone? Definitely worth me donating a tape and some postage so that others can check it out.
Good weekend to all.

| Comedy central did rebroadcast the episode Friday at 6:00, I taped it and was very impressed. She really plays the **** out of her guitar. I was very impressed. Which model Adamas does she play?
Which color was that? |

Location: atlanta | Todd, that is a very thoughtful and generous thing for you to do for the members. I want you to have her cd--privately email your mailing address and I'll get one to you.
Btw, she played near Ft. Collins twice earlier this year:

The guitar Conan was admiring is indeed an Adamas II 1581-7, built for her by Ovation in December 2002. The closeup camerawork of it was very fine, didn't you think?
I hope the members who didn't see the show take you up on your offer to share her performance.

Location: UK | For us folks in the UK, is there any chance someone has the technology to turn her recorded performance into a mpeg or avi file so we could watch it over the web?
Does the OFC web site have any way of hosting it? Otherwise, I could put it up on some web space I have here.
Just a thought
