IED has been reading with huge pleasure the relative newcomers' accounts of
their discovery of Kate Bush's music.  Please keep them coming, they 
rekindle us oldtimers' memories of the good old days when a new Kate
Bush album used to come out every couple of years or so . . .

This old fogey was twenty at the time, but had much the same experience as
you.
He was living in Florence then, and caught a pre-release airing of "Wuthering
Heights" in November '77 on Radio Luxembourg.  It changed IED's life (some
might say not for the better!) forever.

Very best wishes to all the Love-Hounds, particularly to Karen whose efforts
to organize Bay-Area fans for this year's Katemas rites are typically valiant
and gracious; and to all you whippersnappers.
