	 I can empathize with Kate. As a writer I drive my family, friends,
and editors insane with my nit-picking. I become excited with a story
initially, than I can barely tolerate it the following week. >;-)

	I have a difficult time rating her albums.

	Interesting. I suppose I'm of the mutant KaTe fan variety then, as my
most listened to albums are from vastly different:
                    "Lionheart"
	"The Dreaming"
	"HoL" & "The 9th Wave"
	"This Woman's Work (boxed set)"
	 "The Red Shoes"

	I would be sore pressed to give a "rating" to any KaTe albums .

	Nice sig <grin>. Reminds me of a line from a Mary's Danish song:
"Hypocrisy take me in your loving arms."  Don't really know why it
brings that line to mind. Probably because I just like it. >;-)
