Discussion? Well, here's my immediate reaction: How about Eberhard Weber on "Mother Stands for Comfort"? Or Danny Thompson's fantastic string bass on "Pull out the Pin"? Or Eberhard Weber on "Houdini", with the bass and string bridge? These all stand out (for me, at least) as performances as memorable and significant as any of the bass parts on TSW. I could cite similar examples for other instruments, but I'm checking these as I go, and I don't have time right now to listen to everything Kate has done...though it would be fun. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell University
