Yes, that was a great experience! :) I'm sure glad ecto is working
since I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.  I was lucky it was
played twice cause the first time I spent the whole time holding the
attena myself to try to get as little static as possible.  :) I then
discovered my cable carries the local affilliate so made a great
second tape.

Actually it was "music writer".  The name sounds familiar but maybe
I'm imagining things.

That's for sure!  It's the *first* thing I've *FINALLY* heard her say
from her visit to North America.  Until now she could have just stayed
at home for all the effect she had in Tucson, except that tapes are
not as far away.  That's not to say I'm ungrateful that she made the
trip.  I'm glad she did but she could have had a much greater impact
if she had wanted to.  However I imagine the major talk shows probably
wouldn't have interviewed her; they would've just wanted her to
perform.

> Kate's voice is so beautiful! I've always adored her speaking voice.

Me too!

I just heard Peter Gabriel's "Love Town" from the Philadelphia soundtrack
for the first time.  :)  It was on a station in Phoenix I can't get most
of the time.
