Hello dear All.

Our recital at the new Knitting Factory in Williamsburg was quite fun. I thought it would be a trial because of my pregnancy, but not at all. I was so glad to see everyone and play some music before I lay low for a while. My baby is due in November.

My dear old friend Julie Griner filled in for Catie D'Amica on drums. Catie is leaving the band to go to massage therapy school. She said she would make a public proclamation of of my fun-ness so as not to contribute to some reputation of me being difficult or something like that.

I am really tired of talking about the numerous line-up changes. It's no mystery. Rasputina is not a full-time job with benefits. People can only stay so long. I've been doing this almost 20 years! Subject officially over.

New album should come out in February or Spring, when I'm ready to perform for you again.

Live recording of the Knitting Factory show should be available in a month or so (I'm guessing).

I do have some "Ancient Cross-Dressing Songs" cd's left from Sunday's show. You may purchase them from the handicrafts page.

It's interesting to me that today's music fan sees recordings as "cost per song"- a real iTunes mindset. You will feel better if you look at it like, "Melora made this thing for me with her bare hands."

Love,
Melora
