Merry Christmas!!

Hey everybody,

Just wanted to say hello and hope y'all are having an awesome Christmas :) So far my day has consisted of feeding and watering horses, slipping on my butt in A LOT of mud (thanks to all of the snow that came our way and then turned to slush), playing with my dogs, opening a lot of awesome presents from family and friends, and getting beat by my 7 year old nephew at the game Sorry .....very embarrassing, yet a reality. We just finished up tour here in the U.S., in New Orleans, and had an awesome tour run! I love my band and crew! They work so hard and are amazing people! I recorded a Christmas song for my mom during the last show for one of her presents this year and it turned out alright so I'm gonna try and post it for y'all. It's me singing "I'll be home for Christmas" live and it's not too bad so I thought y'all might want to have it since I don't have a Christmas cd or anything. Hopefully, my internet works long enough out here in the sticks for me to be able to post it. I have come to the conclusion that I pissed off the internet gods somehow and they hate me so we'll see what happens :) Thanks for all the support this year! Without y'all I wouldn't get to do what I love .....which would suck.

Sincerely,
(the girl who loves run-on sentences :) KC

Thank you for sharing your gift and talent with us, Kelly!
It's a bit too late to wish you Merry Christmas but I am an Orthodox and we have Christmas tonight. So Merry Christmas again :-)
I was thinking about you due to "Love Actually" movie that I had a chance to watch only recently. Well, my troubles with love put me way behind with life. But you inspired me to get out of years-long "zombie" state. So I did dare to re-write the story, on a paper at least :-). I believe you know the tune :-)

Happy a happy and successful new year.

Every time I hear this song
something strange is going on -
a switch is on
at an idle heart
yet I haven’t pressed
the “start”.
It’s bringing up all kinds of things
I’ve been hiding deep within
trying hard not to regret
and entirely forget.

This ballad is crashing all
making any reason false
proving human every fall
lacking brain of self-control,
breaking a clever “if”
planting rather strong believe
any moment, any day
I may be in love again.

Let us call “never again” a lie,
and be brave enough to say good-buy
caution, fears,
any “but”,
every end means
a new start.
I don’t know yet for how long
I'll walk this road all alone,
packing no piece of grief
I'll take nothing but believe

With the sounds of the song
and the lyrics so strong
and the singer’s voice and gift
giving too long "blues" a lift,
kicking in a retired heart
new pain may be more than hard
and a grief may be all to get -
but when silent, heart is dead

I will dump my heavy shield
covering my scar.
Let you all see
here's the real me,
guess what my love stories are.
Instead of wasting what is left
waiting a dead clock to tick
I’ll remember what I can’t forget
but I’ll let new feelings in.

The trouble with love is
like the same one with a life -
There is one or there’s none,
options are to live or die.
The choice may be all wrong,
but that ship’s already gone
where troubles are ahead -
choose a life or you’re dead.

I was there when you sang the song. You sounded great and looked beautiful. I saw you in Pensacola too, I threw you the Chivas bottle. Thanks for putting on such a great show, and for letting us be part of all your success.
