HoL - Reissue & Happy B-day, KT

["DJH" <donna@math.uconn.edu>]

It arrived yesterday!!! Just in time for KaTemas.. I gripped it in 
both hands, eyes wide, and asked my SO, "should I save it for 
KaTemas?"

He shrugged, so I dived for the sterio..  WOW!! YES!!! I LOVE THOSE 
PERCUSSIONS!!!  I pulled the old ratty lazy-boy into the middle of 
the living room, right in the middle of the triangle of my two bose 
speakers, and the base box...  poured a glass of wine, leaned back 
with closed eyes and waited for the wonder of KaTe.  My favorite cat 
leapt up into my lap to enjoy the music with me.. he purred and 
purred...  I would have purred too.. I guess I might have..

I listened as if it was the first time..  Got goosebumps during
RUTH, felt a pull at my gut during Cloudbusting, and got caught up
in the wonder of the Ninth Wave..  It sounded like KaTe was standing
right next to me.. the vocals so clear, the percusions so deep..

However, I kept expecting to hear 'all sorts of things I never heard 
before'.. as several Lovehounds had mentioned... alas.. I didn't hear 
anything new..

Then I remembered.. when HoL first came out, I was living with 4
other people who weren't as keen on KaTe as myself.. (hard to
belive, but true).. I listened to HoL everyday, once or twice, lying
on the floor, eyes closed, with HEADPHONES...  I Heard EVERYTHING..
I tested my theory by paying special attention to the bonus tracks..
YES!  by goddess, I hear all sorts of things I hadn't heard before!!
 I am running out to buy a set of headphones this weekend.. I can't
wait to rediscover all of the other KaTe KreaTions with
headphones....

AND..

Just in case KaTe tunes in....

{my goddess, I am speechless... I have no idea how to even begin to 
express my overwhelming admiration of the art you create}

And what actually would be spoken with jaw on floor and eyes VERY
wide= 'ahhhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh,........'

love, peace, and all things KaTe
