10.55    The Minx has descended and been given her Easter card from WillyFred and myself, with a small present: the new Bowie album, acquired from Square Records in Wimborne. These were well received.

11.03    The internet pipes of Bredonborough are clogged. Traffic almost a standstill. Pooey pooey.

Ace coving, in response to DGM Guestbook request I…

Daily Exercises:: Posted by noforker on March 27, 2013
I’m very curious about the First and Second Primary Exercises that Robert writes about. I particularly appreciate that Robert has sent snapshots of his notes on these exercises. Would these notes be enough as a starting point…

No.

… or would I be risking forming extremely bad habits by trying to interpret (probably incorrectly) the notes that Robert shared?

Yes.

16.44 A letter from Adrian Belewbeloid, written on 19th. April, 1980…

… suggesting that GaGa support The League Of Gentlemen (the bands’ names are not mentioned). Forwarded to Ade, and in response Ade mentions a joint show at Bogart’s in Cincinatti where Ade’s manager Stan Hertzman mentioned that Ade would sound great singing over The LofG. Ade continues…

and to add to that great memory only moments after stan's prescient remark in the very same balcony/dressing room, you introduced me to your willy!

This refers to one of Adrian’s good stories, to illustrate how straightforward and boring Fripp was. From my reply…

aaaaaaaerrrrgh! old bud -

my willy introduced itself while i was considering the evening's setlist.

and let's face it, of all the people dear to me in life, you have made seen me make an ass of myself more times than anyone else. and most of those times i was drunk.

On this particular occasion, the straightforward bore had not been drinking.

Final e-flurrying and to settle.
