Perhaps you misunderstood the intent of my posting, which was simply to
share a nostalgic moment, not to eulogize dear Kate, who I understand is
still very much alive (though as elusive as ever). As for the issue of
age and/or dementia, it is true that I am old enough to have given-up counting
grey hairs, and I do sometimes misplace my car keys, but I also continue to
listen to anything by Kate and many other more-or-less kindred spirits
like Cocteau Twins, Jane Siberry, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Dead Can
Dance, Loreena McKennit, Mae Moore and, God love her, even Bjork! I am
anxiously awaiting my first taste of this Happy Rhodes individual, but it
has been difficult getting more than a bovine-like Hnnh? out of my local
CD proprietor. I'm afraid I'll have to resort to the dreaded "special
order" if I don't have better luck soon.

All this to say, yes, I know it's 1994, not 1978. Kate does too. But think
about this: only five more shopping years 'till the big four-oh Katemas!
