Me too!

A whole new aspect of music can unfold if KaTe combines her naturally great
voice and instinct for rythm with Prince's funk. I'm not so sure about the
lyrical aspects of such a collaboration though...On the other hand both are
kind of sensual, but in a TOTALLY different way. 

> Prince credits Joni Mitchell as one of his big influences,
And the songs that indicate this influence ('Sometimes it snows in April',
and 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker' are two that come to mind) are really
excellent. 
Who knows, maybe Prince is a secret love-hound, and can't wait to meet KaTe,
so he offered her a job! Maybe in his next tour he'll cover 'Leave it Open'.
Or maybe KaTe is a secret Prince fan, and in her next album she'll cover
'Mountains'...Or he'll be Heathcliff and she'll be Cathy in the musical 
production of 'Wuthering Heights' :-) (OK, I'll stop now)

On a serious note, I am sure KaTe knows how to pick the people she works with.
AND she hasn't produced anything below her standards so far. She will most
probably NOT do a Sheena Easton-like thing, so there seems to be no reason
to get worried. Whatever she does will be a step ahead of its time.
