Have I missed some addition to the gaffa FAQ which says that any negative
opinion of a Katesong is automatically subject to unadulterated flamage? 
Because you disagree with me, I'm supposed to take my abuse like a good boy

There's an ftp site or two you might want to check out.  I don't know how
accurate the transcriptions are, but I think you can find them at
ftp.uwp.edu.  Someone please correct me if I've misremembered.

I've heard of her, yes, but never heard her.  She's been in Rochester
several times and her albums are on sale at local record stores.  I've heard
lots of good things about her as well.
