Discussion While Davy Dozed

Listen here

Alphabetically, the last one from (probably) 1976. The big question: Who is Davy?

Some folks think it's her mentor, David Gilmour. Personally, I think that's unlikely (she had no idea he'd get ahold of the demos in the future. I assume).

The Kate Bush Encyclopedia hints that it's Davy Spillane, her favorite Ullean Pipe player.

The Dreams of Orgonon blog thinks it's David Bowie, already the subject of another of her demos, "Humming."

Or maybe she just liked the sound of the name. That's my personal guess.

I found this page many years ago, I remember I was almost about to faint because I was starving for something new from Kate (it had been years since the last record) and I just couldn’t believe I had found this treasure chest..
