How Grateful I Am

Early morning Monday and I'm getting ready for a long ride home with Dug.
I had to take a minute out of packing, stretching, scratching and yawning to tell you all how wonderful these last ten days have been. From Schenectady to Valparasio and everything in between, it's been an amazing trip. Once again, I've been shown a huge amount of support and love by everyone who came to the shows.
I did my best to thank you all at the gig's, personally and from the stage. If you didn't get a hand shake or a hug from me, consider yourself thanked now.
I plan on doing a lot more of this work in the future and seeing all of you at these shows proves to me there is more than good reason to think I can count on at least a few more years of solo shows.
I have a couple of weeks to myself before I have to leave for the Meat Loaf tour which will take up most of the year but I'm already thinking of what I'd like to do next time I have a solo show. New songs, new stories and new cities to play in.
In the mean time, if you didn't get to one of these seven shows, check out the CD 'All Sides' set to be available on February 25th.

I'll keep you all in the loop over the next months with pictures, videos and personal observations.

Love, Kasim

Here We Go Again...

Hi All,
Just rolled into Pittsburgh after a nice leisurely drive from N.Y. I've been looking forward to these dates for a while now.
I've finally put the finishing touches on the new CD, ALL SIDES.
I had hoped to have it in hand and available by the time I did these shows but my desire to make it the best it could possibly be meant delaying the release for a week.
It just so happened to be the week I was scheduled to do these shows.
Part of the problem was the shere volume of material I wanted to include. Transferring songs from my four solo albums wasn't easy. The source material was less than pristine so the first order of business was to use every tool available to bring it back to it's original condition. Then, I had to get the unheard Demo's together. A lot of these tapes were recordings of recordings making another restoration process necessary. After that, I had to finish mixing the three new songs I planned on including, polish them up and send them off to my Mastering Engineer Jim LaForest in California to make them record worthy.
The biggest obsticle came in trying to making all 27 tracks sound cohesive. Like they belonged together. All this while working with Dave Fletcher creating and putting together the Artwork for what is my one and only compilation CD. Just the simple fact that I can say "compilation" means something special to me. I trust you'll appreciate all the hard work by so many people on this project.
It looks like I'll be able to have the CD available in just a few weeks time. February 25th to be exact.
I'm doing some piano songs on this little tour, and enjoying the fact that people recognize songs that were never officially part of my repertoire. I hope you'll enjoy hearing them as much as I do playing them.

Well, if you made it this far, I think you deserve a treat so ... go to;
