JEB: All of the things that Vermont has
to offer. That’s good. I went this past week-
end and it almost amazes me that this time
of year is almost as pretty as fall, because
there are so many different greens and the
moss in the woods is bright green. It’s so
colorful.
Do you have anything else, I mean it
sounds like, this is inspiring for our read-
ers and I think it is fun to read what we’ve
covered. I know that you have a plug in for
CJ’s on Friday?
MK: Yes.
JEB: So they can check you out on Face-
book Low Country Funk, is that where they
would find you?
MK: We are definitely on Facebook al-
though, again we only really have some
acoustic music on there, so in terms of
wanting a show, if you want to be enter-
tained and you want to have some fun, and
you want to dance, come and see us live!
It’s a very, very different show than what
you are going to see on a Facebook vid-
eo, but we are there and we will try to get
some other videos up, it’s just hard to catch
them.
JEB: Right.
MK: People are there to have fun, not to
be recorded. We are there to have fun.
JEB: Right.
MK: We are not there to make a profes-
sional music video, although that would be
fun, and if somebody wants to volunteer to
do that, come on out.
JEB: And you definitely might be avail-
able since you suggested the battle of the
bands. This is something we should do for
one of our future conferences?
MK: I am definitely down for a battle of
the bands, so I will challenge other musi-
cians in our state if they have a band and
they are carrying on a practice of law at the
very same time, let’s do this. That is ideal.
says, ‘well I don’t like country music; this
is not my thing,’ and then they come out
and the remarks afterwards go something
like ‘I hate country music but I really like
you guys.’
JEB: Well, there you go.
MK: So come give it a try and by the way,
if you don’t like what we do, ok, great, go
see another band.
I am fine with it, because, there is sort of
a level of acceptance; everybody doesn’t
have to love what I do. I love what I do,
and it’s really fun! I will put in a last plug
that we have so many extremely talented
mus icians in this area that are playing out
and people don’t go. Go out and support
local music, support the people who love
what they are doing and if you find a band
that you like, promote them, go and see
them, bring your friends, do something to
help with their own creativity, because it is
an outlet.
and in the summertime, we spend a lot of
time up at Bomoseen and on the water,
fishing and hiking.
JEB: And dancing is a huge stress reliev-
er.
MK: Yes it’s a HUGE stress reliever, and
let me tell you, people dance all night long.
I dance all night long when I am perform-
ing; it’s just really that fun.
JEB: Excellent! We all could use a little
stress relief; that is part of the purpose of
the column.
MK: You lawyers who are working until
3am, come on out.
JEB: Definitely. I think we have good
stuff here. Thanks so much for doing this.
MK: Thank you for coming. Sound off!

JEB: Well alright, so it’s out there, the
gauntlet has been thrown!
MK: Bring it on.
JEB: She is ready for the battle of the
bands. I think we will have to arrange
something like that and I will have to come
despite country music not being my favor-
ite thing, but I will have to come and check
you out.
MK: Right. I am going to throw this in
here because one of the very best com-

time again is someone just like you that
