I've actually known about this for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it substantiated in print. A friend of mine has some friends who are good friends of the Bush family, and they had told him about Bertie. I knew he was a fairly reliable source, but it was hard to believe such an event could be kept quiet so long. I think I actually hinted about this on ecto a year or so ago just to see if anyone else had heard it. I had been sworn to secrecy so hadn't said anything specific, just something to the effect of Kate had working on a new production of an entirely different sort. I wonder what effect this will have on her new album (assuming one will eventually come out!) Hopefully it won't all be lullabies (though actually if Kate does it it might not be that bad!)
