John Kumjian (Lake Ann, Michigan USA) Nov 8 2009 14:48:01 (Central Time) Any plans to come East?
Carol (Pittsboro, NC) Oct 27 2009 20:10:59 (Central Time) Hi Karen: Just wanted to send you a little note to say how much I enjoyed seeing and hearing you perform at Woodyfest. Hopefully they'll see the wisdom of giving you a set of your own at the pastures stage again. Thanks again for sharing your musical talents with the rest of us.
Buddy (Okemah Ok ) Jul 13 2009 20:10:00 (Central Time) Hello Karen, I'm sorry I have not met you yet. People have mentioned you to me for years now. I just watched "Blow the Candles Out" off Will's Facebook page. Just lovely. I've been recording in Austin since 1978, but seldom leave the studio. I hope I can make it to your show on June 13th. In any regard, I wanted you to know hwo much I enjoyed hearing your voice on one of my favorite songs. My best. - Gary Powell
Gary Powell (Austin, Texas) May 19 2009 18:24:32 (Central Time) Know, Karen, that you DEFINITELY play well in Peoria! My 91-year-old Mother and I truly enjoyed your concert tonight--you touched my soul with your true-to-life lyrics and will sing me home as I drive first to Midway Airport in Chicago, then from Raleigh to OIB. I'm hoping to find you some gigs in NC!!
Margaret Townsend (Ocean Isle Beach, NC) May 9 2009 22:05:35 (Central Time) hope to see you at the focal point on Friday!!!
jim solari (st. louis, mo ) May 6 2009 20:03:06 (Central Time) Hi Karen...I am totally loving your Mercury's Wings CD...I met a friend of yours named Kim, in Atlanta last week. She is a friend of my sister...I am a musician and Kim thought I would like it, so gave me a copy. It was fun to see Chris Gage and Christine Albert played on the recording. My husband, Sam, played drums with Chris for a year in the early 80's , while he was still in So Dakota, so we know him and met Christine once, too. You are sooooo talented!!! I would love to hear you live, sometime!!! Female pickers rock...songwriters, too!
Gayle (Winona MN USA) May 5 2009 14:54:38 (Central Time) I've seen Karen just about every time she's come to the Tucson Folk Music Festival. I love the openness of her songs and lyrics...hope, love, don't get jaded. Great reminders for life. In going over the notes for the festival, I see that I've seen Karen as much as anybody else through the year. I was really impressed one year during the songwriter's circle with Karen's musicianship--how quickly she picked up on other people's songs and was able to play counterpoint and backup unrehearsed. In reading the web page notes, I see that she plays mandolin--it would be great to hear her do that some time. I also see that she's made several trips to Door County, WI. I have roots in Door County... small world. It would be a great place to listen to music--especially Karen's.

For 20 years I've been coming to Door County ever since I met my wife. We came to any performance you were at when we visited the Door. We recently came back for our 20th anniversary and I saw a CD with your name on it. The memories just flew back. I hope you are well and continue to perform. Thanks for being you.

Kate Cleary (St. Louis, MO USA) Nov 23 2008 16:55:14 (Central Time) Just heard dark-eyed sailor. What a delight. A beatiful voice, very celtic sounding, and the accompaniment just right ... is that a special kind of flute in the back ground? I take it this is one of your onw compositions. It has a wonderful quality that makes it sound, in theme and tune, like a very old song (that's meant to be a compliment). thank you.

Elizabeth Gregory (College Station, Texas) Sep 11 2007 09:30:38 (Central Time) I watched the fire works this year from a cliff top over looking a little Navajo village with my little Sofie, maybe 3 little bottle rockets, but huggin my little lady so close. You were on the San Juan River at the same time, and on your return gave me the CD with "When I was three". When I listened to it that evening I knew you had written it for Sofie and me. I will sing it the rest of my life with that night in my eyes, and your wonderful gift of that song and that CD. Thanks Karen. ;-)
Jim Hook (Bluff, UT) Aug 12 2007 12:26:52 (Central Time) I heard you on Wisconsin Public Radio singing a song about "when I was three", is that on any of your cd's, I am not sure what the title would be, but thought it might be "when I was three" : ) thanks, ~julie

Hopefully, I can see you perform when your on your own. Well, thanks for the inspiring me.

I was there the second weekend and saw you at the New Folk concert and the main stage. My new love Sigrid and I will be at the Harmony House concert in August to see you, Ken and Wayne. You three make such a great combination. Listen, I'd really like to learn how to play "Beyond the Headlights" and I'm having some problems figuring out the chord structure. You said once when I talked to you that you would help me with this if I asked. I'm asking. Thanks.
Steve Blyskal (Houston, TX) Jul 18 2006 17:49:56 (Central Time) Hi Karen! It was so great to see you and hear your beautiful voice again.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in OKC in August, although I'm booked on the 11th, I am trying to see if the date can be juggled so that I can be at your performance at the Blue Door. Terry and I plan on coming up. If your schedule permits, maybe we could meet for lunch or dinner, just in case I am unable to change my performance date.

David Russell (Plano, TX, USA) Nov 4 2005 18:07:31 (Central Time) Hi Karen -- I caught you briefly at the Ballad Tree at Kerrville this fall. My 8-year-old daughter still remembers some of the words to the song you sang there. I was touched by it too. We're excited to know that you will be at Uncle Calvin's in Dallas on Nov 4. I'm travelling in the Big Bend but will definitely return in time to catch you there and hear some more great lyrics and music! I think you're great.
(Dallas/TX/USA) Nov 4 2005 08:49:29 (Central Time) Karen I heard you this am on a radio program called (?) "Tween the Tracks. Kcsn out of Los Angeles. I was moved by your incredible voice and guitar work. I am an amateur but love to sing and have always enjoyed beautiful and versatile women's voices. This is the first time I have contacted someone just to give a compliment, using the computer. I have a friend who hosts house concerts but she doesn't solicit. You can contact her at noblehouseconcerts@acn.net. Would love to hear you at a concert!!!!!
Kay Conroy (Woodland Hills, CA) Oct 29 2005 12:55:13 (Central Time) I wish you'd come back to the old Upper West Side to play and let us know when you do. I heard your version of Kate Rusby's "Courted a Sailor" on BBC3 and loved it. Funny youv'e got to listen to English radio to hear great American talent.
Carlie Berlin (New York, New York) Oct 15 2005 18:01:23 (Central Time) Hope to see you in Dallas. Hope all is well.
Doug Gerash (Tyler, TX) Oct 2 2005 02:45:57 (Central Time) I'm just sending my love to you, my friend Karen, and congrats on getting picked for just about every festival's songwriter event out there, which is no surprise to me because you're so wonderful! I haven't called because I have had laryngitis for the past week, but I'm starting to be able to talk again. Ok, tmi, I guess, for your guestbook...
Laurie McClain (Nashville, TN) Sep 26 2005 01:37:26 (Central Time) Glad to hear the new mp3s on the site, gonna have to pick up the new record.
Gordon Garrison (Austin, TX) Sep 24 2005 23:58:53 (Central Time) Karen, I work at ABIA, and I was able to watch a bit of your show earlier this week. Your music is just amazing, and being a Scot it's always a distint pleasure to be able to hear some Celtic music at the airport. It basically never happens.
Bill Stephens (Austin, TX) Sep 2 2005 08:51:51 (Central Time) Karen, I work at ABIA, and I was able to watch a bit of your show earlier this week.
Bill Stephens (Austin, TX) Sep 2 2005 08:50:10 (Central Time) Hi -- I just discovered radio io acoustic, where I heard the song "Rosalie" and immediately searched for the lyrics on the internet. What a sweet, real, song about motherhood! Glad to have found your work.

derek nyberg (hua hin, thailand) Aug 7 2005 23:01:48 (Central Time) What can you say about out impromptu bar "gig" in the Green Bay Airport. Era mi honor y plaseo! Your pure rendition of "Por Un Amor" should be heard by all. In my crystal ball, I see a house party in November. Stay tuned...Nick
Nick Rios (Dripping Springs, TX) Aug 7 2005 22:20:26 (Central Time) Keep up the wonderful work.
Delight Full Decor (Charleston, WV USA) Aug 7 2005 12:15:03 (Central Time) I loved your music on 90.5 FM today.

bruce auden (wimberley TX) Aug 6 2005 14:27:39 (Central Time) Your Dark Eyed Sailor is lovely! I really like British traditional music, and this album caught my interest - I was not disappointed!
John Bedford (Anguilla BWI) Aug 5 2005 16:21:47 (Central Time) Hey I like what you are doing for people, supplying joy but you aren't known in S.A. big time.
Michael Green (S.A.) Jul 30 2005 02:03:11 (Central Time) Loved you at the Woodyfest! you should check into playing on KPIG's (http://www.kpig.com/) "Please Stand By" show they would love you!

Lloyd Hull (Topeka, KS) Jul 26 2005 13:19:35 (Central Time) Let me introduce myself, I am Deb Thompson's brother Dean. We met once, a long time ago. We played together on the terrace of my family's Manhattan apartment.
Dean Henik (Parsippany/NJ/US) Jul 19 2005 09:23:52 (Central Time) Heard you in Okemah for the first time and truly enjoyed your performance and purchased a CD which I am listening to at this moment. Wonderful stuff. Thank you.
Duncan Rose (Derby, KS) Jul 18 2005 13:17:36 (Central Time) Thank you for making my home a magical place on July 9th. I would tell anyone who might consider having a house concert to fling open their hearts and front doors! I will remember this night fondly as will everybody who had the priviledge of hearing your magic. I feel sorry for everybody who wasn't us that night!
Kathy Lavigne (Mandeville, LA USA) Jul 11 2005 13:16:14 (Central Time) WOW! How does one start out with such talent and then just keep on getting better and better? If I wasn't old, ugly and married.... I'd buy ALL your cd's
Tony (Door County) Jul 8 2005 13:24:41 (Central Time) I just read the lyrics to your song,"Mercury's Wings". I heard you perform this song tonight in Fish Creek and it reminded me of my brother Wayne. Wayne was 42 years old when he died this Jan. from Lymphoma. Wayne was my little brother and had five other brothers and five sisters. He died shortly after our Father died of Pancreatic Cancer. I have sent a link to your site and this song to all my brothers and sisters and expect them to be knocking down your door to get copies. Your music is inspiring and your lyrics are down to earth and pure at heart, You will go far.
Diane Stadler (De Pere, WI) Jul 4 2005 00:16:28 (Central Time) We just saw you perform in Fish Creek earlier, WOW. You were GREAT, we are very glad we decided to stop. Had to check out your website as soon as we got home!
Diane Stadler (De Pere, WI ) Jul 3 2005 23:23:20 (Central Time) Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of collaborating with you on "Dark Eyed Sailor" I still enjoy listening to those tracks we worked on in Vermont and N.J. and know people will appreciate the homage you have paid to those ancient songs of courtly love that really are the roots of much of the folk songwriting done today. Your interpretations are always tasteful and get to the heart of the material. You have a great gift and your work is always first class.
Gabriel Donohue (NY. NY.) Jun 29 2005 21:05:44 (Central Time) Another new fan from your performance at the backyard. Alex's, that is. Thank you for enduring the heat and the mosquitoes. You have a wonderful voice. The new CD is great. I especially like the one that goes "deedle eedle idie oh." ;-)
Allen Ambuhl (San Marcos, TX) Jun 29 2005 09:58:27 (Central Time) Hey Karen,I really enjoyed jamming with you at Kerrville. You are such an inspiration. I would love to get together sometime and play some more. Let me know when might be a good time. Hope all is well. Take care.
carley (san marcos TX) Jun 21 2005 12:24:45 (Central Time) Karen: My wife and I saw you perform (our first time) today at the Camp Fire get-together in Alex Thomsen's backyard in Austin. We very much enjoyed your music, lyrics and you. We don't know how you and Nigel kept from melting in the heat (good thing there were no stage lights!). We enjoyed Nigel as well. We got one of your CD's and listened to it the rest of the evening, and we're looking forward to attending some of your future appearances in the area. You've got a couple of new fans!
David Alexander (San Marcos TX) Jun 18 2005 23:27:00 (Central Time) Heard your song Take a Drive on WICN radio a few days ago, and as sometimes the case with radio the artist and song were not announced leading me to call the station for the info. I will now purchase Mercurys Wings either from a store near here ( not very likely) or order from Waterbug directly. At any rate that is one great song and I am hoping the rest of the work doesn't disppoint
Peter west (Webster MA) Jun 4 2005 09:21:09 (Central Time) saludos musicales,gracias

Michael Weinstein (South Salem, NY, USA) May 27 2005 08:07:15 (Central Time) Hi Karen,
Andy Seshadri (RIchardson, TX) May 23 2005 20:52:03 (Central Time) Saw you a few years ago in Door Couty, WI in a James Taylor review. And, was back up there this weekend and heard "Take A Drive" at a friend's hopuse. If I cannot find your CD here (just west of Chicago) I'll order it through your website.
Ron Sherman May 22 2005 22:42:15 (Central Time) Wow, i got to play bass with Karren a bit the other night at Ric's birthday party. What a voice, i can't believe i have never heard this woman sing and play before, down right amazing.
Chris Rhoades (Austin TX USA) May 17 2005 16:55:49 (Central Time) Karen, on the chance you might get to read this (being how busy you are!), I just wanted to thank you again for coming to the round I set up in Wylie at ACT with you, todd hoke, jeff talmadge and me! It was pure heaven and people are still talking about the show... should be a good crowd up here when you and Ken Gaines play!
Bill Nash (Dallas, TX, USA) May 4 2005 19:59:33 (Central Time) Karen Mal is a sumptous musical feast. A sweet soulful musician and singer with a lilting expressive voice as pure as a summmer's mountain stream. She sang a brand new original song for me in the performers' tent after a recent show at the Tucson Folk Fest called "Suitcase Full of Memories" which simply floored me. I can see her achieving all her mystical musical dreams while creating many wonderous dreams for all of us fortunate enough to watch her creativity evolve and flow. I feel blessed to have met her, especially under such lovely circumstances. I am forever smitten. Rex Fowler/Aztec Two-Step
Rex Fowler (Somewhereville, US) May 4 2005 09:56:25 (Central Time) Hi Karen: I met you at the Tucson Folk Festival after hearing your set on Saturday. Your songs touched me. I love your lyrics--very heartfelt. Please let me know the next time you come to town.
Victor Shamas (Tucson, AZ) May 3 2005 00:41:19 (Central Time) heya karen...

Joan Rembo (Hollywood, CA, Ñïîëó÷åí³ Øòàòè) Apr 19 2005 14:13:24 (Central Time) I enjoyed Saturday's concert in Austin!
Gary Stephens (Bartlesville, OK) Apr 10 2005 21:49:47 (Central Time) Her music is like a soft ray of sunlight on your face on a early winter morning. Her lyrics are gentle like honey and touch the soul with words that relate to real life. There's a little something for everyone in her songs.
george w. sharp (Orlando, Florida) Apr 6 2005 09:49:00 (Central Time) Dear KAREN, i MET YOU AT THE CHERISH THE LADIES SHOW ON 4-2-05 in New Jersey. Thank you for signing the Mercury,s Wings cd for me. I listened to it and it was great. Please keep me posted on you new releases and if you ever in the New York area again. Best of luck , John Noble
John Noble (Pomona N,Y,10970) Apr 3 2005 16:35:32 (Central Time) Hi Karen, looking forward to your new CD, but would really like to hear you live again! We missed not seeing you this last summer or fall, maybe you will play somewhere between Chicago and Door County this season, we will watch for news! We spoke briefly about a "house concert' at Fishstock in 2003...We are looking for a copy of "The Orchard", is that still availabe?
Glen & Janet Trigg (Big Cedar Lake, Wi) Apr 1 2005 17:14:23 (Central Time) Hi Karen, looking forward to your new CD, but would really like to hear you live again! We missed not seeing you this last summer or fall, maybe you will play somewhere between Chicago and Door County this season, we will watch for news! We spoke briefly about a "house concert' at Fishstock in 2003...
Glen & Janet Trigg (Big Cedar Lake, Wi) Apr 1 2005 17:13:08 (Central Time) Hey Karen, we miss you, although your latest cd is very nice, hearing you live is a treat. Your intro to singing Mercurys wings makes us cry, then you sing, its fresh everytime we hear it. We're booked for camping in June and August in Peninsula as usaul, though not easy to do. So we'll send dates and maybe we'll get lucky and you might be around. I am going to give a local coffee house a listen to your cd, but I don't think the question is your music, it's more can they handle your quality.
Roger and Janice Hamilton (Cottage Grove, WI) Feb 27 2005 17:32:52 (Central Time) Can't wait to hear your new CD!
Don Richards (Colorado) Feb 21 2005 22:17:03 (Central Time) Hey! You came to the island, and performed at the Red Barn, and everyone really enjoyed it! It would be great if you could come back!! Thanks!
Mary Hansen (Washington Island Wisconsin) Feb 21 2005 10:41:02 (Central Time) What can I say ... she is just pure amazement. Listening to her sing is like being swept away to white fluffy clouds way way far away. If one could hear angels sing, their voice would be Karen's. You are the best!!
Sheri Jan 14 2005 20:40:28 (Central Time) hey karen, it was very nice to meet you and lourie, at the listening post, and the songs you wrote on the cd, are very good and most enjoyable to listen too. keep in touch if you like, and may God bless, doyen

Roy Van Cleve (Austin, Tx) Dec 19 2004 23:34:45 (Central Time) I'm sitting here listening to you and Laurie play your last gig on your winter tour. We have had many performers here at the Listening Post Cafe but none that I enjoyed more. Thank you for 3 great performances!! Please come back soon.
Pamela Milam (Jacksonville, FL) Dec 14 2004 11:18:27 (Central Time) Karen always had awesome musical gifts (even at 15 years old). Her music is beautiful as is her voice, playing and producing! She is a true talent. Keep up the great work Karen…
