BiTS:  Do you have a metal one or a glass one? A proper bottleneck or what have you
     got?

     KKH:  Oh, sorry. Oh, you meant like what slide do I use? I like glass slides, like quite

     heavyweight glass slides. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head, I have one
     particular slide that I truly, truly adore, and I'm going to be angry with myself if I
     don't remember the name of it. I'm sure it will come to me. I'll also say I've got some

     DaddySlides, which are brass. They are very cool. They're obviously just a little bit
     heavier, so I use them for heavier gauge strings and guitars that I have set up in
     baritone tuning.


     BiTS:  Have you ever tried playing with a knife blade like some of the old guys used
     to do?

     KKH:  I haven't. I should have a knife blade. Being a farm girl, I should have a knife

     blade and one day I've got to give it a go. But generally I am a fan of glass, of like quite
     a nice heavy glass slide.

     BiTS:  Kris, tell me something about where you want to be in, say five years’ time.

     What are your plans?

     KKH:  I have to say, you know, obviously I don't have huge aspirations to play live in
     large venues or anything like that. It's not really my calling. I'm very passionate about

     the music and for me it's just such a gift that people enjoy what I do. It's always come
     as a surprise to me, and I wasn't expecting to draw the audience that I have, so I'm
     grateful for every new fan and follower who enjoys what I do. I would love to just

     keep building on that and keep finding people to accompany me on this journey and
     enjoy the music and keep basically enriching on what I do and maturing in my music
     and developing my style. I follow my nose. I don't so much have big plans or a vision

     of where I want to be in five years.

     I think I'm quite satisfied with where I've come and I would love to grow a little bit
     more and do more of the same if I can, but really for me, it's the music. That's the

     main draw and the main interest for me and I think that you've got to really, really
     enjoy what you do. It can't become this big job and this whole like, well, I have to
     achieve XYZ. I think the enjoyment to me is the main driving force.


     BiTS:  Kris, I won't take any more of your time

     KKH:  Brilliant. All right. Well, I'll lookout for it. Have a wonderful weekend and thank
     you so much for the interview. It was a real pleasure to speak.


     BiTS:  My pleasure. Kris, your music to me is fabulous. I love it. It's absolutely terrific.
     I wish you success to be able to continue and make another album, please.


     KKH:  I'm truly honoured. That is my plan. Thank you for your support. It really
     means a lot. I appreciate it.
