| Hey there Maureen      [mother? morning?]

| Hey there bubba        [brother?]
| Dancing down the aisle of a plane
| Smurph playing his guitar refrain      [Alan Murphy, Kate's longtime 
| Hey there Teddy                      guitarist, who died several years ago]
| Spinning in a chair at Abbey Road
| Hey there Michael                         [Michael Powell died in 1990]
| Do you really love me?

| Hey there Bill                    [Bill Duffield, lighting man, who died at 
| D'you turn the lights up?               the beginning of Kate's only tour]

In my copy of latest `Lionheart', the Japanese fan club's newsletter,
Shimazaki writes that:

- Maureen is Kate's aunt,
- Bubba is for Gary Hurst (dancer in '79 tour)
- Teddy is an engineer [Teddy who?]

Could anybody confirm these?
Teddy seems to be an engineer rather than a guitarist,
with `Spinning in a chair at Abbey Road'

Shimazaki, the leader of Japanese fan club, _boasts_ that he has 
personal acquaintance with Kate's family.
So most of his statesments will be true.

I will soon report about current status of the Japanese fan club.
