Why I listened to KaTe originally

Subject: Why I listened to KaTe originally

To Nancy Everson's friend whose name temporarily eludes me...
Well I was flipping around the channels on the TV set one morning,
and they happened to be running a long set of "hounds of love"
videos including "Running Up That Hill", "The Big Sky" and
"Cloudbusting"... I had heard RutH and taped it off my local
radio station, but when I heard "The Big Sky" I thought that
"This is an album I have to own"... The reason?  I don't know,
it just sounded like a fun song and I liked "RutH" so I decided
that at least two good songs make an album worth owning and
bought it.  Good move, too.  I got "The Dreaming" because I had
heard that it was an innovative, complex album with lots of
nifty percussion, and I'm a big fan of nifty percussion.  So as
to what motivates someone to take that first listen, it's really
a question of being in the right place at the right time.
