   I was mightily impressed by her singing in May 1995 at   
   Music West in Vancouver but not quite as impressed   
   by the songwriting but I imagine she has improved   
   in that area since.   
      
   After 50.5 hours there have been no other followups   
   on alt.music.s-mclachlan so I guess she has no   
   fans on that group, so I added the other three   
   groups so someone might comment if they don't have   
   a phobia of following up on me or anything.  :-)   
      
   Here's my bit from a Monday, May 15, 1995 post by me to the   
   FTE list reviewing a Saturday, May 13, 1995 Music West   
   Showcase at The Treehouse Lounge (then the basement   
   lounge of The St. Regis hotel diagonally across   
   from The Railway Club bar in Vancouver) :   
      
   "Next up was a new discovery, from Toronto,  Kathryn Rose and   
   her band Wind May Do Damage (what's that in french?).   At first   
   I didn't like her too much but that's probably because of the   
   new face factor.   Also her band didn't seem to be together and   
   properly behind her at the start, but really gelled later on.   
   This may partly be sound problems, or stage jitters (a video   
   crew came in  for the first part).    After the video crew   
   left, they cut loose more.  Ms. Rose is a powerful torch   
   singer, great projection, with  some  sax/keys/guitar/bass/drums   
   backup, some  backup vocals from the guitarist which worked  OK   
   despite the fact that he is male (for all those on FTE who think   
   male backup vocals are cheesy).    The lyrics were mostly   
   fun, not too complicated, bluesy/r&b style, but delivered with   
   passion, the voice rang through the room and inside my head   
   even.   I  could have schmoozed afterwards but didn't because   
   I'm no longer booking people, and am restricting my cd purchases   
   for a while, and besides others kept her sort of busy.  So   
   anyway I'll watch for her in future, a growing fire."
