09.17    Morning sitting at 07.00, introducing a morning exercise.

An e-eruption of the non-industry dispute.

Breakfast at 08.00 in the tent with announcements. The morning’s focus is on repertoire.

A tech meeting with Dev. A morning of personal meetings ahead, beginning with Special Study Group I.

15.44    Lunch at 13.00 with practical announcements.

Logistics meeting with Tom and Dev at 14.00.
Lots of activities are underway.
Tea at 16.00, personal meetings continuing at 16.15.

18.52    After personal meetings, to The Guitarist Inside with The Orchestra.
Beginning with the swift establishment of a relaxed and present condition, moving to strengthening Wish.
Eye Of The Needle with Guitarists Inside activated.
Well, what should we do now? Moving to extemporisation, and some repertoire pieces.
An honourable development with good moments. I was not convinced that all of those not playing continued to be part of the Performance Team.

The skies opened.

Returning to personal meetings. Tony Geballe is well on the way to establishing a pedagogy of guitar practice.

Dinner at 19.00 in the dining room.
Visitors at 19.30.

A mock-up of what a performance might be. Several “happenings” of the kind I associate with testosterone.
Until c. 22.48: c. 95 minutes.

Returning for a short discussion with Tony, Curt and Victor dropping in.
