Interviewer: Karen, how are you? Karen: Fine (smile). Interviewer: I know you are a woman of many talents, what don't you do? Karen: (laughing), Uh-h-h, I don't know. I don't put limits on myself. I believe strongly that if that"s my call, the job is done, and I always strive for excellence. Anything less than that, I wouldn't be satisfied.  Interviewer:  Will you tell me, is that really your hair on the picture on your cd, or are you wearing a hair weave or wig?  Karen:  What?  How dare you, are you serious?  You think I have a hair weave, you think this is a wig?  C'mon, this is my real, natural hair (smile).  Fortunately, I have been blessed with enough hair, I do not need anymore, no, I do not have a weave or a wig on my head.  I've been told I have hair for me and you (laughing). Interviewer:  Yes, you do (laughing).  What is your favorite area to live on the map?  Karen:  I like a lot of different places, but not sure if I could live there.  I prefer not to answer this one.  Interviewer:  Well, if you could live any where in the world, where would it be?  Karen:  I'd love to have a private island surrounded by water, sunshine, mountains, and palm trees. Interviewer: Wow, that sounds good to me too! You like to play the violin in your spare time? Karen: What spare time? I try to make time to do other things other than music, it's hard, but I've managed to squeeze some other personal activities in there. I love to horseback ride. I remember my last experience going there with some longtime friends and I ended up with a very wild horse that liked to jump. I didn't feel comfortable with the horse so my friend took it. He couldn't handle her, so another male friend took it. Before I gave up the horse, the last guy started teasing me telling me, all, you can't ride a horse. So he took the horse from the first male friend and when he got on the horse, she leaped into the air and fell on top of him. It was so funny, because he was dogging me. We had to end our horseback riding day because he was hurt, but we were laughing so hard I didn't realize where I had stopped my horse, and getting off the horse, my foot slipped from the stirrup and I fell into a huge pile of horse manure. It was hilarious! Now the joke was on me. Interviewer: (laughing) Wow! Sounds like you all had a fun day. Well, I have had a nice time interviewing you, and I wish you all the best. Karen: Thank you.
