    I had a recurring nightmare in the early eighties about Kate getting
way to popular and being forced to appear on Solid Gold. It was
*exactly* like _Sound In "S"_. It's right up there with Wendy O.
Williams (no relation) and the Plasmatics appearing on Solid Gold or
Patty Smith's appearance on _Kids Are People Too_ singing "You Light
Up My Life." No, I'm *not* kidding. These are real events.

    I don't know if the "Rolling The Ball" should *ever* appear on a
tape tree tape. Sure, her wonderful covers of "The Long And Winding
Road" and "She's Leaving Home" would make a good addition, I *cannot*
be responsible for the aftermath of putting something like "Rolling
The Ball" (stupid mistake theirs) in general circulation. It's not
the sort of thing that we show every visitor, only people who have an
*unshakable* faith in Kate's talent. At the very least we should require
some sort of release form. Sure the unedited Night Flight is stupid,
but *Kate* did not embarass *herself*. _Sound In "S"_ is the sort of
"hunt down and burn all copies of" thing that haunts many stars. I
don't know if Kate could forgive us, no matter *how* good her sense
of humor.

   I, for one, an anxious to hear Peter's comments on Henry Burdett
Messenger's theory about the genesis of _The Ninth Wave_.
