Hotel Acceptable, Madison.
Rising at 04.50.
Mucho disturbance in the adjoining room with guests arriving c. 11.15 for conversing & television. Doors that act to link rooms for suites do not offer insulation from sound. The whirring of industrial-scale air-conditioning plant is constant, but not oppressive.
Computing. Into the Club at 07.00 for breakfast reading I…

More computing & e-flurrying. Lobby call for 11.00.
19.08 A good day.
Punctually into the BiffMobile with Biff & Marcello to Beeftone Studios I…

… past the Tip Top Tavern…
… which, to a casual glance, appears to be assuming the virtue.
The heightened Solar Voyager is in good shape I…

The additional height enables me to operate the various devices in the rig without stooping. Re-familiarising myself with the guitars, fine-tuning programmes & putting my mind into the space. The Solar Voyager is basically the same as the SV England but details vary.
C. 14.10 to the Beeftone Store…
… and checking the various items moved here from storage in Nashville. This was not long before the flood & everything, including the rig, guitars, Revoxes & books, would have been destroyed. There is an old, deep body Ovation given to me when KC played Toad’s Place in New Haven in 1982; a Fernandes 7-string; the two early Roland Synth-guitars used by Ade & myself on Discipline & touring in the 1981 Crimson; books & various other goodies I…

… including cassettes of talks given to early Guitar Craft courses at Claymont in 1985…
Then to Best Buy for excitements of the DVD variety. While browsing the shelves, The Minx called: she had a wonderful time in Bidford turning on the Christmas lights for the village, at the request of friends who have just moved there. The villagers turned out for the occasion. I would loved to have been there, but this is not to wish away my life or visit here.
Returning to the hotel for e-flurrying, computing & onward packing.
20.46 Done.
