  Hi folks!

  Thanks, Vickie, for your numerous and lenghthy post concerning Happy
Rhodes. I'd been curious about her stuff as so many love-hounds had
been raving about her thru the digest, but wanted to wait to make a 
purchase until I knew a little bit more about her. Your posts made up
my mind: I'll HAVE to give her stuff a try. Sounds like this will be a
really outstanding find. Any suggestions as to what to try first? 
(Unfortunately, my budget does not allow me to go whole-hog and get it
all at once...)

  A public THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Lee Hounshell. We traded
a few items lately, and I definitely feel I got the better end of the deal.
I traded him the KaTe in leotards poster for tape copies of "This Woman's
Work" vol. I + II from the boxed set and a vhs tape of Live At Hammersmith
that he made from his laserdisc. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF! This was the
only way for me to get my hands on these obscure items without buying the
boxed set and the laserdisc, which is impossible for me due to lack of funds
and the lack of a laserdisc player! Lee, I am forever in your debt...
also, he let me tape "Passing Through Air" and "If You Could See Me Fly"
before I mailed the CDs I had purchased for him. I've only had contact
with Lee thru e-mail and once on the phone, but boy, what a SUPER guy...
to me, Lee is the epitome of a true "love-hound" should be. Hope the rest
of you folk that I haven't met yet are just as great.

  If anyone else is in desperate want of "Passing Thru Air" and "If You
Could See Me Fly", a place here in Tucson has the CDs for $35 each. Let
me know, and I'll see if we can work it out to get them for you. Others,
tho, have mentioned on the net that they can get them for $25 or so...
that sounds like a better deal if they can get more that one copy.

  Also- I have received a couple of flames concerning my KaTe vs. Madonna
joke. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anybody. It was simply a ha-ha-
funny concerning my own personal opinion. Personally, I think KaTe is
beyond words, and Madonna is a overly-commercial female vocalist who fits
nowhere in my personal tastes. But, I realize there are many who DO like
madonna, and I didn't mean to offend anyone. So sorry- 'nuff said.
Now that that is cleared up, PLEASE QUIT SENDING ME HATE MAIL! 

  One last thing- if anyone has the addresses for "Homeground", "Little
Light", and the "Kate Bush Fan Club" and could pass them on to me, I'd
really appreciate it. I had them at one time, but seem to have misplace
them.

  One MORE last thing- I received the new Burning Airlines catalog the
other day. It has some interesting KaTe t-shirts, posters, buttons, and
postcards that may be of interest to neophyte KaTe collectors like myself.
Their address is:

            BURNING AIRLINES
            P.O. Box 7309
            West Trenton, NJ 88628

            (609) 587-7887

They do take phone orders and such, too.


            'Til next time....

Uh, that zip code can't be right.  No place in New Jersey has a 
zip code that begins with '8'.
