Lizanne Knott: Journal

I wanted to first thank everyone for their concern and well wishes and to answer a few questions here as I can't respond to all of your e-mails. I've been recently diagnosed with a medical disorder which causes my blood to clot up without rhyme or reason. I am currently on treatment therapies and will be undergoing diagnostic testing to find out what the underlying cause is. I have had to cancel my UK tours for 2008 but will continue to play throughout the Northeast US. I am still recording my new CD and plan for a late Spring release. I have tenative plans to return to the UK 2009. I am very happy to be alive. I will bounce back. I have amazing daughters, a wonderful man in my life, blue skies, moonlit nights (chocolate in my pocket ;-) ~ and a cast of friends that are out of this world. ** AND a new president forthcoming (that in of itself is a powerful medicine!)

Much love and Happy Spring to all, thank you for being you.

It's officially in the oven, heating up..should be ready for release late Spring 08! In-studio photos being posted on: www.myspace.com/lizanneknott (More to come!)

What an incredible two nights of music at the Bitter End! I am honored to be one of the top twelve finalists out of thousands..

Thanks to everyone who made the event possible, I have never been surrounded by so much talent and good will.

Much Love ~ Lizanne

..Just wanted to put a note of thanks here for the amazing warmth and hospitality bestowed upon me in England this Fall. The BBC2 was an incredible stop, I'll be posting some live recorded tracks from the show. The house concerts and venues were lovely, great sound and amazing audiences. Needless to say, I will be coming back 2008.

Thank you ~ Bob Harris (Phil Swern) Simon Holderness, Tony Spellman, Mike Trotman, Peter, Gregg and Dr John Barrows ~ and all of you who attended the shows.

Much Love ~ Lizanne

Life is fragile and swift, we go for the most part unnoticed..unremembered, save for small kindnesses. We squander our time and money on temporary comforts, while half way around the world we are dying for a crumb of bread. Children are crying, people are dying, wars are being waged without reason and drugs are replacing compassion when nothing is left.
KINDNESS matters in these times. A smile where there are tears ~ a hand where there is loneliness ~ a blanket where there is none. KINDNESS matters. Pass it on.
