     Never fear, Love Hounds.  I've already realized the difference of 
titles in demos (for those who have voted them.  And will simply label 
each song title with the other one(s) in parenthesies when the results 
are posted.)  A couple of you have already told me about "The Garden," 
though I am suspicious that some of these lyrics seem to come from one 
or more persons' ears (good ears, but ears, regardless).  After all a 
number of us know the "Waltz (Rose) Growing Old" story (that would not 
happen in "The Garden," but still.)  After all, I thought I had good ears 
and did not know that the "heroine" of "The Wedding List" was carrying 
"Rudi's child"(!)  I think that adds meaning to what the song is really 
about(!)  I've saved the lyrics page, but as I glanced over it, I 
realized it's not complete as of yet.

     Oh, one more thing.  Please refrain from making initials in your 
votes.  For awhile, I had this song called "RUTH" listed, and I was 
totally puzzled over this KB song I never heard of, until I finally 
realized!:)  (RUTH = Running Up That Hill)

                                            "Murderer, murderer of calm."

P.S.:  Just in case that was you, Kate, who chose to put in a temporary 
post with that artificial address.  (Even creating a joke in your own 
vain.  I can see that.  We deserve to be teased once in awhile.)  You are 
my favorite artist.  You made a difference in my writing.  You make me 
see the world anew after I hear your songs, your albums.  


Well, why not?  I can dream, can't I?  My heart did stop and it's 
pounding ever since, regardless.  I don't mind the joke because I like to 
dream.  (So I thank you, practical joker.  And I don't see why some feel 
they have to "hunt" for you, the likely imposter!  (It's in the 
trees/It's coming!):)  That may make me gullible, but I've been cynical 
too long.  What's wrong with being a little gullible, once in awhile?)
