History
I'm so sorry I didn't keep a log of all the
places I have played!
To anyone just starting out - just for the fun of it, LOG IT!!!
After almost 40 years, many of the venues are a
blurr. The memories, experiences, the people I've met, are all treasured, but the actual names of some of the
places are kept silent somewhere in the back of my memory cells! If anyone recalls a place they've visited
me, I'd love for you to remind me for the "scrapbook" in my mind.
Thanks, Kim
Variety has allowed me to have some long
engagements. Sometimes 9 months up to 15-18 months at a time. These jobs made it possible for me to get
to know people in both the venues I played and the hotels where I "lived". This I cherish.
Many musicians on the road don't get that opportunity.
Below are some great venues played early on along with some great
venues I am still enjoying working with:
