Summary: Wow !
This weekend there was a show on the Arts and Entertainment cable TV channel by film director Ken Russell called something like "British Music from A to Z". It was part of the Southbank Series. Anyway, it consisted of an interesting hodge-podge of music, primarily British twentieth century neo-classical composers. When it came to B and Russell only mentioned the Beatles and Benjamin Britten, I was disappointed, although not surprised, that he had not mentioned Kate. At this point, I half-tuned out the show and read the paper. At the letter F, his topic was "Female Composers". He first listed a woman identified with the sufferage movement whose name escapes me. However, much to my surprise, he then listed Kate -- and there she was performing "WOW" ! A great lead-in to this week's epic event. Note: the copyright of this show was 1987 -- I don't know if it had aired before in the U.S., although I assume it has been seen in the U.K. Dave Ewing ewing@se-sd.sandiego.ncr.com
