"the weird questions are starting to come"

Hi everyone,
I know the log of the live chat I did this week is posted in full at the fansite, but here it is, edited down for easier reading. Apart from the overloading server and the fact that it looks like I die at the end, it went well.

In my next entry I will answer the questions I could not get to in the chat.
Here we go,
xo KR

[Kathryn Rose] 8:00 pm: No more live backups for me, only studio backups, unless Elvis Costello calls... I want to tour book stores with my friends who wrote a breakup self help book because my cd should be in a breakup survival kit.

[EmmaLee] 8:14 pm: Kathryn, would you ever think about doing a college tour in the US?
[hanz0] 8:15 pm: did touring with sarah influence the way you approach your music today?

[Kathryn Rose] 8:16 pm: Touring with Sarah made me happy to be a working singer but also made me miss singing my songs.

[Fumbler1968] 8:17 pm: now more of us know of you and will buy your wonderful music! The gig def helped to get ur foot in the door quicker....

[Kathryn Rose] 8:19 pm: Funny you should say that, Fumbler, my company is called Footlodgedindoor Music.

[Blythe-Solace] 8:17 pm: was there once song that you just could not wait to stop singing on this last tour with Sarah?

[isa19] 8:18 pm: Did any of your own songs made it in a movie cause some of them would make great movie music
[Sunshine] 8:18 pm: what sarah song you love most?
[Jyl] 8:18 pm: On the afterglow live dvd you did an awesome job on “ICE”

[DavisLawnMowing] 8:21 pm: I think someone needs to be booted for that stupid insensitive remark
[ElysianFaery] 8:20 pm: What song off your new album is your favorite to play live?

[Lougle] 8:23 pm: Cool. About what?
[Sunshine] 8:24 pm: A day in the life of KR.
[Scooter] 8:22 pm: Is FEAR the most difficult song to sing? It’s so high.

[Kathryn Rose] 8:24 pm: Singing that high ideally shouldn't be harder than singing lower if you know what you're doing. It's
all psychological.

[hanz0] 8:25 pm: Didnt know that about singing
[ElysianFaery] 8:25 pm: Yeah...me neither...that's interesting
[Scooter] 8:26 pm: I didn't know that about singing either
[stem86] 8:23 pm: Kathryn, you have the voice of a goddess.
[gleat] 8:23 pm: again, what do u think KR about a place like south america, why american or canadian singers dont come to here??

[isa19] 8:28 pm: I announced that a while ago. I even announced her replacement.
[Fumbler1968] 8:28 pm: how did u meet sarah?

[Kathryn Rose] 8:30 pm: We knew each other socially before I worked for her. Her soundman is a friend of mine. Her band
played on my first solo CD.

[Jyl] 8:28 pm: Does Sarah drink??
[ElysianFaery] 8:29 pm: are there are any "rituals" you do before you go onstage?
[Blythe-Solace] 8:29 pm: at first did you just have to pinch yourself when you went on stage with "Sarah" and the band?

[Kathryn Rose] 8:32 pm: My first show with her was the Grammys, which was scary but thrilling. Thanks, yes let's change topics.

[Blythe-Solace] 8:29 pm: After a while I am sure the butterflies went away but at first that must have been quite a feeling.
[DavisLawnMowing] 8:30 pm: lets not bombard Kathryn with Sarah questions
[JenniferDavidow] 8:31 pm: I don't mean to be rude, but this is the Kathryn Rose chat, not the Sarah-ish chat. Please be considerate of the purpose of this chat.

[EmmaLee] 8:33 pm: Hey KR what are the chances that you might do a college campus tour in the US... (if you do please hit IN, TN, or KY)
[gleat] 8:33 pm: kathryn, what do u think about american and canadian singers dont coming to southamerica, we get only pop and commercial singers, not good like sarah or u, why its hard to come, for money??
