Cry for Help Kit Mann
It is just me and the musicians that volunteered to play on my CD for me. Title of the CD
A Cry For Help, is one of the songs on the cd. Since I am disabled it made and easy choice of the title, since the song is about me.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing when I was 16 years old. My neighbor taught me my first songs, Proud Mary, and Johnny B. Good. I started writing songs as soon as I could. Some good, most bad. I found that my voice was not good enough to play a lot of cover tunes so I work on my own songs, those I can sing.
My job choices in life left little time for playing, but I squeezed it in when I could. No being disabled I have the time and I'm working on my next cd. It will take a while, but I will continue to try.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play in coffee shops and campgrounds. I also played at the Fayette Co Fair and private parties, and opened for a friends cd release. I have not played out for 2 years since my last chest surgery. I'm working on trying.
