Location: atlanta | Acoustic Guitar magazine arguably has been the premier world-wide acoustic guitar magazine for over 20 years. It seems to be the magazine of choice for serious musicians and fans of acoustic guitar music. I think it is fair to say that the readership is traditional, even conservative, when it comes to evaluating acoustic guitar musicians.
The magazine recently polled its readers for their all-time favorite guitarists, living or deceased. The results have been published in the July edition.
The readers honored Kaki by voting her into the top 50 players. She was one of only three women to be voted in, as well as being the youngest person on the list.

There is no doubt in my mind that she could not have achieved this distinction without the unfailing professional support of the Ovation Company. Some of you may recall that she became an endorsement artist of Ovation/Adamas in early 2003, at the age of 23.
Needless to say, all of her family are very proud of her, and thankful for the wonderful support of the OFC and all its members.

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I have seen her consistantly ranked in the top 100 of many internet Greatest Guitarist polls, but Acoustic Guitar does carry a certain respectability.
She just seems to be gaining steam. Congratulations both, Kaki and Dave, |
