It's coincidental this "tired old thread" should start anew here. My 
apologies for getting off the "alternative" track, but the same thread of 
a tribute album--in this case for the Moody Blues--is going on now on Lost 
Chords, a list serve for fans of that British band. Among others, I pegged 
Kate to do "Watching and Waiting" or "The Actor." A presentation along the 
lines of "Under the Ivy" would be superb. Another LCer followed up my post 
with suggestions for her to do other Moodies songs. Surely someone else 
here can answer to whether she might have even been influenced by the Moody 
Blues. She was getting started at the right time to know of them, 
especially considering her association with another British art rocker, 
David Gilmour. But her style sure would complement some of their tunes, 
especially the ballads. Then again, it sure would be swell to hear her take 
on a more upbeat tune like "Gypsy," with all of its "ah-aahs."
