I first heard your song "What Else Can I do?" on a TV show, "Joan of Arcadia," and I just thought it was pretty amazing.

Hello Karla,
I fell in love with your CD when I heard it from beginning to end. I want to know when you are coming to Manitoba!!??

My first contact with your song "What else can I do" was about a 1/2 hour before my mothers funeral and I had been doing "fine", felt strong enough to tackle the day and then I heard your song....it opened this floodgate that I had held soooo well for almost 10 days...just wanted to say thank you...it was necessary and as I sat at her grave one year later our time was spent with your music....I wish I knew what inspired this song...I'm sure you've had that question before....if I may ask....

Hey Karla! Totally loved seeing you again at Kings University College aways back... You have a great way of capturing people and making time evaporate.... I just listened to your CD again this evening and remembered how awesome you were to see live. You are simply fabulous. All the best, and I can hardly wait to see what you do in the future! :-D My mom (Margaret D) says hi, too!

I saw your performance in Medicine Hat AB. at the tongue on the post festival. I thoroughly enjoyed your style, and music. The melodies and words just seemed to come from some where deep within you. Yet you still seem to remain so light hearted. A thrill to sit and enjoy your style and music. Best wishes to a climbing star. Ron Kehn

I have just gotten off the phone from a lengthy and deep conversation from a good friend who had recently separated from a loving relationship. I myself have experienced a similar relationship. And after all of this I happened to listen to a song of yours on Magic 99. So I opened up your website, and read your lyrics, which sparked many emotions in myself.(I also lsitened to you music, absolutely INCREDIBLE)
Thank you for your honest, and deep passion for honouring who you are, and sharing this with your beloved audience. I hope, and pray that your audience gets bigger and bigger, and that you continue to respect and honour your Self and share this in your lyrics as you bring your talents and gifts to and with others, Blessings and Peace Karla, Blaine

I first saw you at "Alberta Session" two years ago. You became one of my favourite singers. I waiting, not so patiently, for the release of your CD and it was so worth the wait. Then I saw you when you opened for Ruthie Foster last year. I had goose bumps when you sang. I now will get to see you two more times, first at the Ruthie Foster concert and then this year's "Alberta Session", and I can't wait for either. I may not see you perform live often but it is always an extra special treat. I think you are truly amazing. I'd say more but I'm at a loss for words that could properly describe how wonderful I think you are.

May you get back (double) all the joy you send to other.

Choose to live happy,
Elaine

God Bless :)

Hi Karla, Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your show in Medicine Hat(and the workshop you did with Ron!). I had a friend drive all the way from Calgary just to hear you sing and she was glad she came(first got turned on to you at the Canmore Folk Fest last summer). Can't wait for your next cd!

Love your music! If you are ever looking to tour Ontario, send me a note. I am the Artistic Director for Windsor Folk and would certainly like to book a show! We run a concert series from September through June each year and do some summer house concerts and Wine Pavillion events. There are a number of venues in southern Ontario and Michigan that we're connected with that would book you. I hope to see/hear you coming through our area soon!
Best Regards,

Yes, you've guessed it! I heard 'What else would I do' on J of A show. I thought it was great and had to find out more! Just found the site and I am going to have a good look at your music and words, music from the heart, words from the soul!

Hi Karla haven't seen you for a while. I am making a point to come to homefest on Sunday. I am bringing my daughter with me. I have been playing a lot of guitar and at times I am even a little pleased with my progress. I bought a new guitar it is a larivee made out of australian black wood. I love it. I have started my middle daughter playing too, she is a real hippie chick, I am so proud of her. She and a girl friend attended a peace conference in Edmonton they were the youngest participants. KEEP PLAYING Brian

I want to buy a blanket for everyone I care about. I love this song.

I am so glad that I found you thru magic99 web site!!! I have caught this song twice on this station and fell in love with the lyrics instantly, only both times they played it I happened to be driving in my car and could not write the artist name down, to make a long story short I knew the laast name but was struggling to get your first name, it was a toss up between carla, karla, karly, carny??? All I remembered was the d.j. stating that you were from Spruce Grove!!! Where can I purchase this cd? I am so thankful that I turned on the station the day that I did and heard that song, it was very calming and made me appreciate some of the things that I have been neglecting! Sorry to rambble I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the song and hope to find your disc to get to hear the rest of what you can share, I thought the song was called blanket but perhaps it is called " what else can I do" ??

Wow!
You know music hits that core of one's spirit at any given time. I am suffering from a disability waiting for surgery and there are days when the pain is more than I can take. Your lyrics have captured what I am feeling and what those around me feel. They don't know what to do...but getting a blanket, giving a shoulder, saying a prayer are exactly what I need.
I have been touched....forever.

What Else Can I DO

Lot's of love,

I have an "extra" job driving limos in the evenings and on weekends, and this past Saturday I had some wait time and was listening to CBC Radio One. Don't even know the name of the show, but was from the Yardbird in Edmonton. You sang "What else can I do?" and "Shining". I have to say I loved both, especially the former. The gent from Saskatchewan playing guitar was terrific also. Is your CD available in major outlets? e.g. HMV or similar. I look forward to picking it up soon. Best of luck to you for ever continuing success. Maybe you can even carpet the chicken coop. Allen.

Hi Karla,
Last fall my best friend was dying of breast cancer. The special Alberta Bound was on and since she loved the Alberta music scene, we watched it together. Your song made the room go completely silent, and we all just sat there and listened and held hands. She died the next day. Your song brings back that memory, not in a sad way, but just the way we just sat there and held hands. Thank you Karla. (I am listening to you on CBC right now).

Hi, Karla. Heard you on CBC - I think with Sheila Rogers. Loved you music and lyrics. Can't wait to hear more.

I also saw your feature on Alberta Bound and was greatly impressed by your song "What else can I do". You'll be happy to know that your music made it all the way to Newfoundland and I'll be passing your name along to friends and family.

Karla blew us away on the Alberta Bound CBC feature this w/e. I've enjoyed Jann Arden and Nickelback for years but you even topped them! Such a smooth, honest and real sound.
I'm a homeschool mom of 3 on the Gulf Islands who loves to sing. Thanks for the reminder to do it more!!
Now to figure out how to grab your Cd w/out doing online...and may catch you at Vancouver Island Musicfest.

love your music, I lost my husband to suicide last year and your song what else can I do , has touched my soul , it says it all thank you. I want your c.d for sure, all the best I am sure we will be hearing from you

Delia

May 21, 2006

Another person who saw the CBC special last night and fell in love with your voice. Blown away by "What else can I do" as many were. I think we have all been in that place where someone you love has lost someone they love and there are no words, nothing you can buy to heal, just being there sometimes helps....you captured that helplessness in a song...and I am sending your CD, along with a beautiful blanket to my aunt in South Africa who recently lost her only son, my cousin.
Thank you for sharing your gift, please don't stop writing and performing.

Saw the CBC special and was very taken with your lovely voice and music. I often give blankets to people for gifts for their children so the song of course touched me and I will share it with all my friends as soon as I can find it in local music store. I see you are heading to Comox in July I hope you enjoy our Valley and I hope there are still some tickets left. Much success in your life.

May 21, 2006

I saw a CBC programme last night that featured you, and I can't tell you how much I fell in love with your sound. The icing on the cake was when your song "What Else Can I Do" came on and your brief introduction about how the song came about... my sister-in-law has but days to live having been diagnosed only two weeks ago with end of stages liver cancer. As she slips in and out of consciousness, I watch my widowed mother-in-law and husband both writhing in emotional pain, feeling absolutely powerless. Thank you for putting my thoughts and feelings into song ... aching for my mother-in-law and my husband...and what else can I do? Thank you....

Marcos Lewis

May 20, 2006

oh wow, just saw the CBC gig, and your pening of "What Else" is the most beautiful songs ever written,..it made me cry,(an aquaintance just lost his son)...some day perhaps i will see you play, good luck!

Sincerely, Marcos.

Just saw a little clip on a Kurt Browning special tonight that highlighted this wonderful singer! The song "what else can I do" really touched a cord with me, and I needed to find out where to get Karla's music. Best wishes on what I hope will be a wonderful career.

Rob Cross

May 20, 2006

WOW! Just heard you on the CBC special "Alberta Bound". Very impressive! I see that you perform with Keith Glass - he is an amazing talent. I live in Arnprior and often see/hear Keith in the Ottawa area. Hope to see you in concert soon. The Stewart Park Festival in Perth, Ontario would be a great gig for you. Please check it out! In the meantime - Best wishes! Yours in music! :-) XO
