Well Paul,

If you think that Kate's "The Man I Love" is so great and reminds
you of Billie Holiday, why would you want "more stuff like this
as B-sides in the future?"  Why not an A-side?

As much as I enjoy the song, I don't think this genre is something
that Kate excels in.  And especially in this genre, Billie Holiday
is far superior to Kate.  No doubt about it!!!

Just being objective,
