     I'm afraid I still don't see the "MURDER MUSIC" punch line, but never
mind.  Many of you were asking about The Dreaming on CD.  Someone told me today
that it is available as an import from Capital, who, unfortunately, has a
reputation for manufacturing poor-quality CD's.  He told me he would check to
make sure of his access, but believes he can obtain them for fifteen dollars
each.  He also mentioned that Capital has a new U.S. plant, and manufacturing
is expected to improve.

     So that I don't leave anyone out, here's someone's KT-shirt idea which I
forgot to include in that list:

Sorry, Fu-Sheng, for leaving that out, especially after you sent it twice.
Again, I still think we need to address those questions concerning legalities,
production, and REduction, before we try to decide.  Shall we just assume that
using an album-cover picture could definitely get us in touble?  I don't think
Kate would actually sue US, but EMI probably would.
