So far I have shipped to Denmark, Belgium, Greece, Canada, Ireland, England and Mexico! Thank you all for your support! I hope I can add even more countries to the list in the near future! I wonder where the next one will go? Maybe Australia? Maybe Bulgaria? Hmmm... the possibilities are inspiring!Kate Pricetag:kateprice.com,2005:Post/38700412015-09-26T10:44:03-07:002021-06-22T06:58:43-07:00The "back story" or "why it took so long"<br>It all began over 30 years ago with my friend Hans and I sitting in his tiny kitchen in Santa Barbara, singing the songs of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn and other great singers/songwriters of that era. Then over the years we would sit at some kitchen table SOMEWHERE on planet Earth from Stockholm to the Russian River, and each time we would joke about how we should record the collection of songs. Then kd lang beat us to the punch with Hymn's from the 49th parallel, and we knew we had to make our version.<br><br>We started recording and things went smoothly until I almost died. A ruptured appendix that the hospital missed sent me into diabetic keto-acidosis. Then they discovered I have deformed kidneys.... suffice it to say that after several surgeries, I had a steep and gnarly climb back into the saddle of my life. It took me a very very long time to recover, physically, cognitively, and financially. Hence this recording is long past due.<br><br>I sincerely apologize to my fans and I want you to know that I hold you in such gratitude. THANK YOU for not forgetting me. in this world of constant sensory bombardment, THANK YOU for taking the time to really listen with your heart.<br><br>This is my personal favorite off the new recording... it stops time for me. It is a long exhale, or perhaps like floating in warm water. I hope you love it as much as I do!4:39Kate Pricetag:kateprice.com,2005:Post/37117592015-05-22T15:23:13-07:002017-01-16T08:00:20-08:00Where It All Began<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/161053/481ba3e690da6d7efbe26a0af8a679d3a0d15d10/original/screen-shot-2015-05-22-at-8-25-29-am.png?1432332433" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>I fell madly, deeply in love with the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Agoura Ca in the early 1980's.There was so much beauty and magic there, as well as the amazing talent... Mark Lewis the storyteller, Reduced Shakespeare, Indus Arthur, Patrick Ball, Chris Caswell, Billy Scudder, just to name a few! Little did I know that my music career was about to be born!<br>These 2 people are especially dear to my heart...Alwyn was a tarot reader in the Witches Wood (also a talented songwriter and extraordinary perfumer!) who was my first friend there, and James Hendricks is an amazing musician who appears on my Songs From The Witches Wood recording. He now heads up the Briton Ensemble, an acapella ensemble based in Los Angeles. I had no idea this photo existed until yesterday! Such an amazing glimpse into the past!<br> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div>Kate Pricetag:kateprice.com,2005:Post/36023142015-03-15T09:16:13-07:002016-11-25T07:18:26-08:00Extraordinary footage of a very young Joni Mitchelllisten to the very end, there is a sweet duet that reminds me of my years at the Renaissance Faire!

Soon soon.<br>The Kitchen table Archives is a collection of music from Canada's greatest singer/songwriters of the 1960's and 70's. I have loved this music and in many instances it is the music that propelled me toward writing my own. This recording is co-produced with Hans Betzholtz, a dear friend and excellent producer and guitarist.<br>Stay tuned!Kate Price
