Hi y'all, 

	Drewcifer and I have been all over this subject for a couple 
o'days now, to end up in some truly interesting and expressive 
conversations.  I'm tempted to recite my usual "de gustibus.." quote and 
leave it at that...

	The reason I'm writing:  Rocket's tail

	This piece is what I would call " a masterwork." For many reasons:

First the melding of those Bulgarian women into a venue that is truly 
Kate's and not theirown.

Secondly, for Kate's ability to use 12/8 "(irish)jig/hornpipe" phrasing 
in a song that ends up as neither.

Thirdly, David Gilmour

Forthly, for her reference to Guy Fawkes (ok history buffs, it's your 
turn here...I know, but do you?)

Fifthly, and most important, her ability to have this vision and put it 
all together, as shrill as it might be.

Sixthly, I'm a felinophile, too

seventhly and this has not much to do with Rocket's Tail, she, Kate, 
finally got Mick Karn (of Japan fame) on an album! - on Heads were Dancin'

eightly, I love it when Kate suprises me or make me truly think,"What's 
gotten into the lassie to do this?"
