Is IED sure? The 'cello part for HoL only has one stinken note in it!
Well, okay, two notes (but the second is just an octave of the first).
I can hardly imagine Kate (or anyone else for that matter) sitting down and
writing that out. Hell, even I picked it up the first time I heard it.

In any event, from a musical point of view, how
valuable/necessary/informative are the transcriptions in "KaTe Bush
Complete"? As a musician I've often been curious about how some of the
tricker effects were produced. Am I going to learn anything from KBC,
or is it just two-fingered piano music with guitar chords above?

Dying to play the cello in the next KaTe tour...
