        There's some fascinating stuff on that page. Not just the John
Peel track, topical though it be, but a load of stuff. I'm now wondering
how difficult it would be to find her early works.

        Also, the couple of interviews, both done when she was sixty-plus
and unbeknownst to her going to die in a few years... But *how* alive does
she come across? Had she stopped in any way? It seems not. I hope I'm
still getting that much out of things when I'm in my closing
stages. Yours,
               Jon
