Karl Blau played a show in Dekalb last night, I drove out from Chicago. It was really fun. I got there way early and had the opportunity to hang out with Karl and his daughter. They were making up songs, Karl was playing piano / tambourine and his daughter would sing, it was cute.

Karl told the story of how he acquired his new touring vehicle, which looks like a giant storm trooper helmet. He also mentioned that he had just dropped off DATs at K for his new record called “Nature’s Got Away” which should be coming out spring of 2008. After the show I kindly thanked Karl and bought a copy of the Dance Positive LP.

I’ve suddenly been meeting these amazing collectors, archivists, and traders lately. If anyone out there has archive footage of K shows, long lost artifacts, factoids, stories, and would like to share them, please contact me.
