Bredonborough.

A heroic rising at 10.00.

Morning reading…

Onto the grey street…

…  where on the corner, at Blower’s Bistro & Coffee Palace Of The Discerning, our pal Ian, from the nearby haunted house, is decorating in time for their re-opening tomorrow morning. Ian leans from the window to discuss latest arisings, as is conventional in a small & human-scale habitation zone for people I…

Lucy, aka Mrs. Ian, has had the exhaust stolen from her car. The cost of redressing this thievery is c. £1,000. What is that quote of Rodney Collin? Theft is never innocent. Disordering repercussions have now been set in motion, to be addressed by our pals.

Continuing along the street for morning shopping…

E-flurrying. An invitation has come in for an interview; not, on this occasion, from the music press; but from an internet site addressing important & valuable concerns. From the reply…

E… conveyed your generous interest in conducting an interview. for several reasons, entirely unconnected to your own good work, i will gratefully decline; and wish you well in your online adventures.

the work of the Devil? to quote that good Orthodox monk. the same was said of rock music, and no doubt just as true.

15.51    What’s this? Further proof That Strange Man is strange?

Fripp Joins The Human Race
Legendary guitarist Robert Fripp is going back on the road – although not with his own band, but with his wife.
The celebrated King Crimson recluse is to guest at three dates with his other half, Toyah Willcox, and her new band The Humans.
See some Frippery and Humanity at Leamington Spa Assembly February 22, Cambridge Junction 23, London King’s Cross Scala 24.

Recluse? Well, clearly he’s currently hiding in the centre of Bredonborough; but will be less reclusive at The Humans’ dates in February 2010.

18.06    A performance invitation has come in, with the suggestion that the performance might be accompanied by a master class, which implies mastery on my behalf & so is a misnomer. This is only one of my concerns. From the reply…

master class: i gratefully decline. this for several reasons...

1.    it distracts from the performance.
2.    i am not a voice for england. that is, my several approaches over the years have been signally without favourable response.
3.    the quality of those attending is, other than staff or teachers, appalling. i am useful to committed, motivated long-distance runners. i am not much help to those who have not yet moved from crawling to standing, and yet believe they have.

Strange, or what? Only one more proof.

20.55    Evening computing done. To practising.
