The pundits have always compared our sweet Thomas with Kate (she's been described as the female Thomas Dolby.) I'm guessing that "Cloudbusting" has something to do with that. Or it may be the fact that they both owned Fairlight CMI musical instruments early on (sold by Australians and West Coast Americans including my dear friend Jeff Harris (also the man who engineered and programmed Animotion's "Obsession.")) Just speculating! jm On Feb 10, 2006, at 10:07 PM, Kara R.

I actually like that. Sometimes I really can't handle iterruption and, worse, "zaniness" from radio presenters. No ads breaks for local carpet warehouses either. Always a plus. - -- Peter ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V11 #40 ***************************
