 February seems like a long time ago now. It was a long time ago.
Ten months ago I posted an item about an interview done with legendary guitarist Monte Pittman for the Echoes And Dust website. In answer to a follow-up question about his famous students Monte said that he had taught Kathryn to play the guitar. You can read that article, with a link through to the interview, here.
Yesterday (9th December) the France-based Radio Metal website published an interview conducted by ‘Spaceman’ with Monte. It covers a lot of the same ground as the E&D piece, which is not entirely surprising as it was done around the same time. Quite why Radio Metal has waited so long to run it is not clear. It is only at the end of the article that the delay is mentioned, though references to Monte’s new album, The Power Of Three, which came out in January 2014 do give it away a bit.
The reason for posting here on KM UK is, of course, another mention of Kathryn.
Are you giving guitar lessons to other pop stars?
It comes and it goes. I’ve been living and teaching in L.A. for fourteen years now, so there’s been a lot of people. I can’t think of anything that just comes to mind. I’ve seen so many people I’ve forgotten more than I can remember. Some of them became famous after I taught them. There’s one girl, Kathryn Morris, that used to take some guitar lessons from me, and then years later, she was on the TV show Cold Case. Some people just wanna learn to play guitar for fun, or just to have another skill. It’s not that they want to be the best guitar player in the world, for a lot of people I’ve met and a lot of my students, they just wanna be able to play a couple of chords, “Wish You Were Here” or something like that.
Kathryn must have stood out in Monte’s mind for him to mention her in two interviews like this. I’d say it’s meaningful as in the E&D interview he name dropped the likes of Brad Pitt of all people! The less discreet amongst you might point out that in neither answer does Monte comment on Kathryn’s ability 😛
You can read the interview on the Radio Metal website here. Being a French site there is a version in the native language.
 You’ve got to love the English language sometimes.
The same word three times in a subject, each one means something different (adjective, verb, noun), and it makes sense… ish.
As we head far too quickly to the festive period I thought, just for a bit of fun, I would ask our dear readers (that’s you) a question.
If you were able to give Kathryn any Xmas present, what would it be?
It can be large or small, cheap or expensive, practical or fun (Xmas presents should really be fun gifts though), personal to you or widely available.
I’d write down my idea but I think you’d immediately see through it as more of a present (every Xmas and birthday ever combined) for me 😉
Cold Case DVD boxset is not allowed either because that would be for you too  ‘RichE’ is an acceptable response
You can include Johnny and the twins in this of course if you wish.
One date is never enough is it? How about three?
Back in late October I reported that the thriller The Perfect Guy could be seeing the light on day here in England in a year’s time. Of course at the end of November in England there’s not a lot of daylight to be seeing.
That 27th November 2015 release date for The Perfect Guy in the UK has now been more officially confirmed by its appearance on the film’s IMDb page. Score one for KM UK!
It has been joined by dates for Germany and Sweden. The Swedes are always ahead of the game so a 6th November release should come as no surprise. The Germans, however, only get a single day’s advantage over the UK. There is more to Europe than the United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden of course. For a start if certain people have their way the UK won’t be part of it any more. No news on France, Spain, etc. etc.
Still no sign of a home country appearance. The 19th June 2015 made a brief appearance, as reported here in August, for a US showing but has yet to be seen again. It’s a little odd. You’d expect it to be the other way around with America info known first.
The Perfect Guy stars Sanaa Lathan (Boss), Michael Ealy (Almost Human), and Morris Chestnut (Legends). After leaving her longterm boyfriend (Morris), Leah (Sanaa) meets the titular perfect guy (Michael). Unfortunately in this case “perfect” is spelt “psycho” and “guy” is spelt “stalker”. Kathryn’s role is as a close friend of Leah.
More as and when we get it.
Update (6 Dec): Belgium has been added to the list with an 18th November 2015 release date.
Update (7 Dec): A now France has been included, sharing the 18th November with Belgium.
 Blimey Charlie! It’s December already!
What happened to the other 11/12ths of 2014? It’s gone so quickly.
The KM UK Advent Calendar has been resurrected for another year but what is the theme for 2014?
After doing this for a few years coming up with a new idea for a set a pictures was proving quite difficult. Then I thought of the popular phrase “Keep it simple, stupid”, aka KISS. And then it hit me! Right in the kisser. BOOM! It was staring me in the face.
Yes, for 2014 we’re putting the X into Xmas with the theme of kissing.
What could be a better message for a season all about bring joy to others than such a wonderful show of affection for our fellow man and woman?
As is the tradition, each day a new image will be revealed in the Advent Calendar album in the KM UK Gallery. Each picture is taken from Kathryn’s film and TV work and will involve her in some lip-action. Not entirely comfortable viewing for some of us of course 
The Advent Calendar is now available in the Gallery. A direct link has been added to the main menu on the right and it will remain there for the duration.
 As it was Thanksgiving yesterday in the US of A I realise that many of you will be struggling to maintain consciousness after gorging on turkey. With that in mind I’ll keep this November 2014 update on the careers of the main Cold Case actors that are not Kathryn fairly brief. Mainly because there isn’t too much to report 😉
It’s a Thoms-on twins only month.
Let’s start with Mr Thom Barry (Will Jeffries in CC) or as we will be calling him from now on ‘The Dude’. Short isn’t a word you’d associate with Thom but he recently finished filming a short film called Desire in which he plays a character called ‘The Dude’. It’s suits him better than ‘short’. Desire is written by, directed by, produced by, and stars Sherina Mikasa (Californication) as the main character. Desire (not Desiré/Desirée/Desireé/Desiree) is an aspiring actress suffering the knock-backs that go with the territory, that is until a particular encounter causes her to react rather strongly. Although the filming completed a couple of weeks ago the projects Indiegogo money raising campaign continues for another week or so. The page contains more details on the project. We don’t often get to report on Thom’s post-CC work and we’ll start off by not doing so. Sort of. Back in August the long-running saga of a Lifetime (the US TV network) bio-pic about the R&B singer Aaliyah seemed to be coming to an end. The TV movie was finally going to be made and Thom was to be playing the star’s father. Earlier this month the film aired with no Thom to be seen and he’s not in the IMDb version of the cast list or referred on Lifetime’s website. Another actor is shown as the father. Checking back for news stories of his casting showed almost nothing. Did I imagine it or has the evidence been removed? Does 3 months count as a cold case? For what it’s worth the broadcast got good ratings but wasn’t a critical success.
Speaking of Indiegogo it brings us neatly back Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC). We couldn’t do a CCCC-up without her. It was only last month that I mentioned Tracie was involved in a web series called Send Me about a university lecturer (Tracie) that has the power to send people back in time to look at slavery. The Indiegogo-based fund raiser for Send Me closed a few days ago with nearly $38,000 pledged. It was some way short of its target but because it was categorised as a ‘Flexible Funding’ project they will receive all that money. Most projects have to reach a target amount or the cash is not taken. Filming on Send Me is due to start next year. After being performed on more than one occasion to an audience Tracie’s latest stage production Lost Lake opened back on November 11th. Speaking of plays… Tracie took part in another of those 24 hour plays a couple of weeks ago. They happen all over the world throughout the year in aid of local charities. Being based in New York for Lost Lake Tracie was in the latest create/write/rehearse/perform-a-play-in-a-day on Broadway. Speaking of.. no, I can’t make it work. Since the last update it looks like the Annie movie may have been brought forward for launch in the UK. Tracie has a small role as Annie’s “Mom”, the “air-quotes” mean “something”. It could be released on the 20th of December or maybe the 26th. Or maybe in January as previously said. Check local press for details.
