Singer/songwriter Kathy Moxham writes in a variety of genres ranging from folk, blues, jazz, country and R&B. She loves the blues, the sounds of the Rolling Stones and thinks that Jimmy Buffett is a wordsmith genius. She's very complex. She also sings and plays the guitar. Imagine that! Doug Logan heard Kathy's song "Telltale Lines" and said that he could play an accompaniment to it. He dreamed one up in about a minute. It was perfect so the two lovebirds have been collaborating ever since. Doug is a guitarist first and foremost. His expertise is apparent and his touches are tasteful and beautiful. The woven combination of sounds is enchanting. On the side, Doug also plays lead guitar for Time to Confess and the Red Hot Rhythm Devils, San Francisco’s hottest blues bands.

Story behind the song
"Beautiful Marie" is a song about my best friend's (Teresa's) mother, Marie Soito. Marie loved pandas and purple, motown and mothering, her friends and especially her family. Marie passed away in December, and we miss her alot. She was full of life, love and happiness. Marie and I went on a shopping trip, and I purchased the dress I'm wearing with the boa over there. (!) "Beautiful Marie" started with a poem by Jeff Curtis adapted to Marie's likes and loves. The music and a song was added for Marie's vigil. I passed the song to Greg Breit, Teresa's husband, via the internet, and he created the lead guitar piece. At the vigil, Greg and I met for 15 minutes beforehand and practiced. This was the first time I had heard Greg's part, and it was so beautiful, that I had to tune it out to remember my lines. I have to do that with Doug's guitar all the time so I was well practiced... We played that night with Teresa holding a mic between us. Afterward, there was another internet exchange of tracks, Doug mixed and mastered, and a recording resulted which sounds very close to what was played at Marie's vigil. Doug and I would like to send you a CD of the song if you wish if you are friends or family of the Soito's. Just email kathy@kathymoxham.com. Thank you Greg and Doug! Thank you Marie for inspiring me to live a kinder, more fun-filled and full life.
