Holiday Inn Express, Grove City, near Columbus, Ohio…
Perhaps 15 minutes later, a young Holiday Inn person came & changed the channel back to the game, turning up the volume. Did you turn down the volume? she asked me. Yes. Do you want me to turn it down? Yes, please, unless you are going to watch it and be excited by every minute. She turned the volume back down.
There is a default setting in all public places: background noise.
16.19 Bogart’s, Cincinatti…
I called Martha Belew to celebrate the return to Bogart’s & catch-up on Belewbeloid arisings. We discussed the possibility of Crimson on the road: I found this disturbing. Playing with the Crims: great! Touring, in any kind of conventional sense: terror! Three weeks in Buenos Aires, a tour of Nashville, even Japan (which is not touring on the Western model) – these are possible. Into the Crimbus every night for weeks – death pain horror suffering torment!
21.13 Bogart’s is a standing rock club. A considerable degree of attention & listening for a venue like this.
Four Quarters’ Maintainers: Tom, Don, Ian, Rick.
Now, a drive to a Best Western somewhere between Cincinatti & Chicago.
"Each part does the work of that part, and no other."
