You might want to check out Gaffaweb at http://www.gryphon.com/gaffa --
this is the official web site of rec.music.gaffa and Love-Hounds.

Next, Jim De Carli asks:

>Would someone please give me a hint? Thanks!

You'll never believe me, but it originally meant "grandfather."  I promise
you this is the truth.  Check out the FAQ provided on Gaffaweb, the
official web site of rec.music.gaffa and Love-Hounds, at
http://www.gryphon.com/gaffa -- I believe the "Gaffaweb Dictionary" section
also has an entry which discusses this.

Finally, D. Clement inquires:

>Hi. I need to locate Kate Bush the songwriter.  Can you help?

Fortunately, you aren't looking for Kate Bush the architect or Kate Bush
the marine biologist.  Couldn't help you there.  But according to Gaffaweb
(at http://www.gryphon.com/gaffa), the official web site of rec.music.gaffa
and Love-Hounds, the songwriting Kate Bush is English.  So at a guess,
she's somewhere in England.  Hope this helps!
