            <title>The Newest Stagerette</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#24</link>
            <description><![CDATA[By now you may know that I have been accepted into the Stageroo's (Stag Owens' hillbilly swing band).  Since I'm a girl, they want to call me a Stagerette.  Well, bust my buttons!<br /><br />We had a very fun gig at the Springfield Public Library on South Campbell last weekend--lots of folks turned out to honor the Western Writers of America, and we did our best to entertain them in fine Western style.  Mr. Gary Hagar kindly took some photographs that you'll see here on the website, thank you Gary!]]></description>

            <title>Demise of a Cover Frog</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#23</link>
            <description><![CDATA[It is with great sadness that I must inform you of the loss of a great pal, an icon, really.  Rastus, the real-life bullfrog who was immortalized on the cover of my first CD as he sat with princely grace atop a concrete version of himself, has gone from our lives.  Tragic events in the early morning hours of a recent May day were unseen by human eyes, but the offending Great Blue Heron returned once and again to snatch him from our pond, our hearts.  Rastus is survived by his mate, Jezzabell and his young protege, Opie Juan Canopie.   Please sign the guestbook with your farewells and kind remembrances.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[All I know is this bar is in Wichita.  I played with Joe Stumpe, who also happens to be the Food Editor for the Wichita Eagle.  Hmmm.  He quite the accomplished musician, as well!  Thanks to Maggie Meetz (my sis) and Lyn, Dan, Colin & Jana for attending this impromptu show, and thanks to Curt, who totally FREAKED when I launched into Lonnie Mack's OREO COOKIE BLUES.  See photos on the photo page.]]></description>

            <title>The Alamo Theater</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#21</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Every third Friday in Jackson, Mississippi,  a band of well-seasoned musicians (mostly former music educators) gather to perform at the Alamo Theater on Farish Street.  The theater has been renovated recently and is stylish, clean, comfortable, practical, well-equipped...really just a wonderful facility.    I was fortunate (due to the publicity efforts of my sister, Savina) to perform a few numbers with the band, which is led by Sherrill Holly (sax) and includes brothers Kermit (keys) and Bubba (bass) and non-family members Willis on drums and Claude on keys.  There are regular performers (Bobby Smith, Pam ?? & others) and the evening provides an opportunity for listeners to hear the blues and jazz they long for in an atmosphere of community and kinship.  It's an enviable resource, and gratifying to see the support that's given for the event.   Sherrill was excited about he possibility of my returning in the fall and getting together again, maybe even for a paying gig or two!  Hey, I like that idea!]]></description>

            <title>What my record is like</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#20</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I made some reel-to-reel recordings in the 70's in Concordia, Kansas in a guy's kitchen. Sang harmony with myself to Gordon Lightfoot and the like...This is nothing like that. <br />In the 80's a bunch of us sang & played around a campfire a few nights and a friend tape-recorded it. Pretty cosmic, actually....this is nothing like that.<br />But that's where this came from. And because it came from those places, it's seasoned. Seasoned with rhythm that pulses as flames around a campfire. Seasoned with an aroma that is at once clouding and clarifying. Seasoned with joy for its own sake. But it's not so deep, really. Just pretty darn fun music, swingy and bluesish and kinda catchy.]]></description>

            <title>CD NOW AVAILABLE</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#19</link>
            <description><![CDATA[We did it!  The baby is born!  I picked up the first run of YOUR PLACE OR MINE on February 14, 2006 at about 3:30 pm.  The package is ... well, it's hard to use the superlatives, because it sounds so trite, but it's an award-winner, I know.  Give me a call if you don't like it.  Or if you do!<br />In a few days, this website will contain a link to CDBaby's Katie McCroskey page, and there you will be able to purchase the CD on-line with credit cards.  If you'd like to receive one by mail from me and have me bill you for it, that suits me fine (in fact, it's preferable).  I am making a nominal charge for postage & handling.  Just drop me an email (katie@katiemccroskey.com) and I'll send it out!<br /><br />Everyone wants to know when the CD RELEASE party will be...wish I knew!<br />I don't have one scheduled as yet, but if you're on the email list, you'll be notified about it, don't worry.  <br />Thank you so much to everyone who encouraged me through this process.  You are the true stars in my life!]]></description>

            <title>Downtown NOW magazine</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#18</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Be on the lookout for the February issue of Downtown NOW magazine!  Ann Keyes has written a real nice article about me & the CD.  She makes me sound like some kind of torchy-type, but it's just hype to sell the record for Valentine's Day.  You who know me will giggle at the descriptives (I know I did).  But maybe it will give someone the idea to buy the record for the sweetheart!  Yeah, that'd be nice...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Thanks to Crista Hogan, who asked for a a jazz duo at the swanky Hickory Hills Country Club function.  Joe Terry was gracious enough to accompany me on the baby grand (stretching himself out of the Skeleton mold to play a bunch of smarmy old-faves for this gig).  Thanks to Dr. Tedd for the beverages.  Good fun!]]></description>

            <title>Gig Report: Harlow's Jan 27</title>
            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#15</link>
            <description><![CDATA[As always, a really fun gig at Harlow's, the most friendly place in town.  Lots of familiar faces, more than a few new ones, and darned near all of 'em smiling!  I tried out a few new tunes (Honky Tonk Merry-Go-Round, Ain't A-Goin' that Far) and I think they'll make the "A" list next time.  <br />Big Regret:  Too many anxious fans strolled in at 8PM, missing my set entirely...guess I'll have to be more emphatic about times in my emails to you-all.  <br />Thanks for coming, staying, enjoying & encouraging, and tipping your waitstaff (ERIC & APRIL ROCKROCKROCK).<br />Later,<br />Kater]]></description>

            <link>http://katiemccroskey.com/news.html#13</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ADDY Award-winning graphic design firm, McK, accepted the challenge of producing the packaging for YOUR PLACE OR MINE, sending the project directly to the top designer and owner,  Lean McKay.  <br />Photographs by well-known artist (and local swell guy) Jim Mayfield grace two panels of this eco-friendly package, while Kay Tolliver Whitney's cool photo of Katie and Katie's own photo complete the design on front & inside covers.  Printing and CD manufacturing is being handled by Dave Cantrell of Cantrell-Barnes Printing.  Only the best seem to be involved with this project!]]></description>
