Florida Music
Kahl stated that he wrote the album Orange Blossom Memories to combat homesickness during his time abroad. The album is made up entirely of songs about Florida (some of them historical) and was released in January 2006. “Floridiana Hotel”, from the album, won an award as one of the top 10 new Florida songs of 2006. In July 2006, Kahl performed "Rocket Boys", a tribute to the space program, at an anniversary celebration of the Apollo Moon Landing at Space Coast Stadium.
Once again based in Florida, Kahl continues to perform at folk festivals around the state. In the liner notes of Orange Blossom Memories he has stated that he has written an unpublished novel titled Exile on Duval St.

“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”

“Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.”
