Hmmm.  While I like the feel of most of WH-I more than that of WH-II,
I have to say that the orgasmic scream at the end of WH-II can make my
entire day.  I bet the only reason Kate even bothered to record WH-II
is 'cause she woke up one day and realized how to truly end the song.

Question : Is the only difference between the two in the vocals?
Though the guitar sound/approach is certainly the same, I seem to
recall that the actual notes diverge quite a bit, especially toward
the end.  Haven't checked recently, so I wouldn't bet my life.
Anybody know for sure?

	  have been remixed a bit.  -- |>oug ]

Question : What's the first song (not limited to WH-I or -II) you play
for some- one interested in hearing Kate?  I almost always go with
WH-II or Oh To Be In Love, as they seem to have the best mix of
accessability and emotion.
