     Mike Pritchard, IED would like to hear what happened with the
Bravo show you mentioned. As he does not receive the Bravo station,
he'd like to know what he missed.

Meanwhile, let him say that he was greatly impressed by your tact in
not imposing upon the Bush family while in Welling. Must have been a
great challenge to your will power. Then you ask:

Well, no, strictly speaking. As far as IED can tell, they are the
product of some nameless EMI drone listening to them once and only
once, with one one ear, while soaking up quarts of cheap ale and
watching that week's Watford match on the telly. Kate obviously has
nothing to do with any of the musical transcriptions of her
recordings. She can handle notation, and has written out some parts
herself for session musicians to read from, but it takes her a long
time and much trouble, so whenever possible, she avoids the process.
The guitar part for John Williams in "The Morning Fog" is an example
of a part that Kate wrote out note for note.

     Anyone out there care to give a rundown of Moving Hearts'
music?
