The P-Funk Europe tour was quite fantastic, tiring, and fun. We ate many a free early morning breakfast due to jet lag, played some amazing festivals, and saw so many new fans and friends. I did a video log the whole tour and am in the process of uploading it all on Youtube- so far I’ve got some lovely Ireland and Italy up, but there is more to come. You can check it out at:

I guess the biggest story for me was at the electric picnic in Dublin Ireland. Grace Jones came to the show as she was also playing at the festival. What a great friendly loving amount of energy that she had. Well, During Maggot Brain I was dancing backstage when out of the blue Grace Jones herself jumped up and started dancing with me- all of the sudden we were in a duo improvised maggot brain ballet- it was expressive, beautiful and a whole epic adventure- at the last note of Kidd Funkadelic’s solo we finished in prime form and all around the backstage everyone was applauding- George et all. It was a pretty amazing experience. Later I was told that Ms. Jones had just initiated me into the Studio 54. By I feel all in all the beauty of the moment wasn’t in that Grace Jones danced with me, but that someone did- just to connect with another person on that level through dance and music is amazing- two strangers to be moved by the funk so intensely and intimately, but of course, it is cooler that it was the Grace Jones- but, I guess all in all it’s just a reminder that we are all people no matter how powerful, talented or even famous- we are people who can move and be moved- who can connect or not connect or even just sort of connect, which is maybe what we mostly do in our lives- but here in this moment through music Grace and myself were able to really connect- you know art gives the language in which you can’t hide- but just open all the way up.
Love and Light and see you soon

We also had a great recording session for Marcos’s friend Clint for an upcoming Seattle band compilation CD. What had a fun show, and did several interviews and were podcasted all over the world on a five camera shoot. Ran into Bone’s Thugs and Harmony and they love our show- even said “girl you got the funk”. We’ll we loved there show too. We met so many new and old friends-it was just great
At the moment I’m in SF, just checked out Tystria’s show and the Dou- hung out with my old bud Shock G, and Bernadette and we tore up the town. - I sported my new “power to the peaceful”shirt Bern gave me. So soon I’m off to EU and then New York City.

No real thoughts today other than proper alignment of the foot and ankle is key to back health- and sometimes the fun you find in one spot leads you to another path in a whole different city- somehow they relate —I think
Love and light

San Francisco, CA -- On Thursday, April 24, 2008, The Boom Boom Room

famous Boom Boom Room of San Francisco. Three funky female friends
decided to join forces to bring to you the feminine side to rockin'

rockers bring an evening of legendary music not to be missed!

GABBY LA LA

Gabby La La is one of the rare music natives of San Francisco.
She grew up playing sitar, accordion, ukulele, and the spoons!
Her style is both "kooky and spooky" and her favorite colors are pink
and blue! Gabby's newest songs are fun and fabulous and her CD "Be
Careful What You Wish For..." is full of sparkling gems and melodies
which you are sure to love. A "La La" show is a sing-a-long so be
ready to belt, hum, whistle, and toot your little horn!

KIM MANNING

Kim Manning- P-Funk Allstar, Kim Manning, has been hitting the
Northern California scene with her heading combination of Funk, Rock,
and Hip-Hop. As an improvisational artist Kim has been seen singing
with such great acts as Garaj Mahal, Blue Turtle Seduction, JFJO, Papa
Molly, the Everyone Orchestra, String Cheese Incident, and her own Jam

Easter has come and reminded me the importance of taking the good and
the bad- to accept both the trouble's and triumphs as gifts from
above- you never know where you are needed in life you just have to
trust the universe and when your guides speak to you, and you feel that feeling in your gut to have enough strength to overcome fear and
follow them
ove and light

well- tonight a show- 2maro back home after 3 long weeks on the road- and then down to smell- a]]> http://kimmanning.com/news.html#23 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Kim Manning - Kim Manning - Blog http://kimmanning.com/news.html#22 http://kimmanning.com/news.html#22 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Kim Manning - Kim Manning - Blog http://kimmanning.com/news.html#21 The day that Harmony ended I flew to Wisconsin for the Steel Bridge Songfest held by my great friend Pat Mcdonald- this is a week and a half long festival where 40 songwriters get together- spin the bottle and start writing songs and then immediatly recording them- I think in the 5 days of songwriting we must have written 60 songs all of which will be considered for the Steel Bridge Songfest cd- where all proceeds go to raise 12 million dollars to preserve one of the oldest standing drawbridges in america. I wrote a fun song with Burr Settles, and Tony and Charlie Cheny and a rap song, that I produced as well with some incredibly talented folks- Jane Wiedlin of the gogo's gave me a standing ovation for that song- wow what a honor just to be there around all that talent- You can get the cd from the first year at www.steelbridgesongfest.com - I'm on the track steel shines- this cd also features Jackson Brown.
Next was my mendo tour with my new Nor Cal band- Randy Shultz on drums, Joeseph Cognac on bass, Marcos de flura on guitar and some background by Maceo Campbell and James Bixler- so fun, and funky- we are really gelling so come and check us out in Nor Cal- so cal will still get to see Kim and the J's.
Finally, High Sierra- I swooped in at 11pm on the last night just in time for me to sing with Matt Butler and the Everyone Orchestra. I love this improv project- we all just follow Matt and I try to sing his expressions, I think my singing to George Clinton's expression give's me extra practice for this. I had the great opportunity to sing with my good Oklahoma buddy Reed Mathews from JFJO- Ironically the venue was the Tulsa Room since Reed and I used to both live and play in Tulsa Oklahoma. The Everyone Orchestra blessed me in playing my "Ganja Street" and friends of mine came popping in from everywhere when they heard the familiar sound of "la la la".
Soon, I'll be back in the midwest so I hope to be extra hot and sweaty in Oklahoma and might see some of my oldest and dearest friends
love and light
