ho!

i'm finally caught up with gaffa...  here are a few more thoughts:

re photos:  thanks to Jorn for the l-h group photo key.  a few additions:

person "a" (front left) is Evan Walsh.
person "h" (behind Evan) is Andy Semple.
person "n" is Rick Bollar (whose friend Rebecca took the photo...)

re woj:  woj says

if this is the disc of which i am thinking, it's worth it for 1) the front
(insert) photo (sadly small), and 2) to hear KaTe talk with her mouth full.
 ;-}
the sound quality is reasonable.  i'd pay $15, but not $35...

it continues to be my hope that i can print the lyric books on a high-
resolution laser-typesetter and copy them out onto glossy paper.  I'm
having a bit of trouble overlaying photos and text, and even more trouble
getting some free time, but regardless i will certainly make and mail 
finished versions (if i have to draw them in crayon!).

as far as KaTemas is concerned, i tend to enjoy giving parties more than 
attending them (?!), anyway, i'm always looking for an excuse to turn the
studio sound system all the way up...

i dunno;  she seems to be regaining interest in vocal/solo piano settings
(_TWW_ performances, for example).  i could imagine some material from
_TKI_ and _LH_ in this format.  i would love to see _The Ninth Wave_ --
admittedly, it would be difficult to pull off, but no more so than the
_Wall_ or _The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway_, for example...  imagine KaTe
singing from this huge tank of water -- submarines and all! 8-]

oh yeah, for mike graham:  the lyric books are Aldus FreeHand documents,
developed on a Mac IIx with a lot of ram...

well, it's footah time:

footah!
