Notes
Here’s part of what happened when Ade and Robert got together in Studio Belewbeloid back in February 18, 2006. There are a few rough-edges here and there and a couple of blind alleys but this is P6 getting to grips with the groove. Raw data perhaps but a rare treat!
Shock! Terror! Fear! It is snowing in Nashville. Not enough to make an Englishman twitch, but rather to bring him out to enjoy the forgiving beauty a white blanket confers upon lesser delights of the eye. Enough, though, to send most of this area’s drivers into destabilisation mode.
It’s colder out there…
… than in here…
11.58An adventure in hire car…
… to collect stagewear laundry…
… from friendly laundry-service provider…
… at Happy Gigster Approved laundry facility…
… the only laundry provider I know, in the world, that can apply heavy starch.
On Thursday I dropped off the laundry & collected some starched jeans that had been hanging, waiting for me, for about a year. My laundry-service provider informed me, then, that he had told other staff – Hey! he lives in England. He’ll be back. And so I was, to validate his claim. This morning my provider was bewailing that most contemporary service providers took little care in their work, and we agreed the value of people taking care in their work.
Then back to Chateau Belew…
… where Ade had come up with a new approach to his V-Drumming…
… and other possibilities for Fripp & Adrian…
17.55John & Ken arrived to complete the setting-up around noon, and playing began around 13.30.
Lotsa fun, very exciting, and the sense of something new coming online. Martha came down to listen, and was also impressed with how much noise two people can make. Ade & Martha have gone upstairs; Ken & John have just left.
Fripp & Adrian…
Fripp & Adrian Rule!…
22.22An early-evening drive around the environs, back to practising. Dribble.
