Wow!  We know, of course, that the album is coming out soon,
but you're about the first person who's heard it!

It's coming out real soon.  Either tomorrow or a week from
tomorrow.

I guess you don't read .gaffa much, because we've been discussing
this album for years, and our interest has increased greatly since
we found out it was actually going to be released.  That was a couple
of months ago.

Kate recorded "Rocket Man" several years ago, as part of this Elton
John tribute project.  For various reasons it was put on hold until
just a few months ago, when we were all delighted to find out that it
was actually coming out.  There was a long article about it in a recent
issue of _Billboard_ magazine.

But you've actually heard it!  And you like it!  Geez, I can't wait!
