Really-From: ewing@se-sd.NCR.COM (David Ewing ) This weekend there was a show on the Arts and Entertainment cable TV channel by film director Ken Russell called something like "British Music from A to Z". It was part of the Southbank Series. Anyway, it consisted of an interesting hodge-podge of music, primarily British twentieth century neo-classical composers. When it came to B and Russell only mentioned the Beatles and Benjamin Britten, I was disappointed, although not surprised, that he had not mentioned Kate. At this point, I half-tuned out the show and read the paper. At the letter F, his topic was "Female Composers". He first listed a woman identified with the sufferage movement whose name escapes me. However, much to my surprise, he then listed Kate -- and there she was performing "WOW" ! A great lead-in to this week's epic event. Note: the copyright of this show was 1987 -- I don't know if it had aired before in the U.S., although I assume it has been seen in the U.K. Dave Ewing ewing@se-sd.sandiego.ncr.com

Geez, I've had this show on video tape for years and never knew that Kate was in it because when he got through the B's and Kate was not mentioned, I got pissed off and ejected the tape! |>oug
