Buy the Christmas CD, "Songs of the Season"

I wanted to remind all our friends that we did a Christmas CD last year, "Songs of the Season"! Les wanted to do a Christmas CD for about ten years and I dragged my feet because I was not sure how we could make it really unique. I should know, Les is always right!! This is a really fun and heartful CD, and my family says this is the best one we have ever done. Starting with "Christmas in New Orleans", it is a very different and fun Christmas CD, graced by wonderful guitar and saxaphone from Walter Young and Lonnie Williams.

They are $15, and if you would like one you can send a check, written out to "Gael Kurath", sent to
Gael Kurath, 1515 NE 104th St., Seattle, WA 98125.
Be sure to include your return address so I can pop it in the mail to you.

Alternatively, come see us at the Prohibition Grill in Everett, Dec. 17th (a warm up for New Years) and we will have them there too.

Have a wonderful and warm holiday season,

Gael (Lady Keys) and Les (Star Drums)

Dec. 31st, New Years Eve party 8:30-12:30. $50 per person. Call soon if you can join us! Prohibition Grill, 425-258-6100

Goodbye to Music Mama

It is with immense sorrow that we note the passing of our dear friend and manager, Barbra Crain, alias Music Mama, on April 14th, 2011. Many will remember that on stage Barbra was our link with the audience, tossing tambourines to people and getting kids to come up and dance with us. At rehearsal she helped with lyrics, tempos, and ideas for how to end a song. As our manager she always took care of business with cheerful efficiency and with attention to every detail, right down to whether Lady Keys' single earing was on the side facing the audience.

We will miss her and treasure her memory always.



Here's a line from the song we wrote for her birthday, "Music Mama":
"a syncopated lady, with dancing feet,

she can't keep still and she'll never miss a beat!"



We will be planning a sparkling party in Music Mama's honor, for all who loved her. If you would like to send your memories, or receive information about the party, or just get on our mailing list, please send a message at our new email address stardrumsladykeys@gmail.com
