The sun is shining. The sky is blue. Two e-flurries already.

During our dinner break, Pat, Bill & myself had dinner with Ian Wallace. It was a pleasure & a privilege to be between these two remarkably experienced professionals talking about their work. Ian is now busier than he can handle. He's coming to 12th. & Porter on Friday night.

King Crimson is pulling together, as well as discovering new ways of pulling apart. Our recoveries are getting better. Let's face it, we have enough opportunities to discover how. Trey has bought a rubber band bass. This is one of the silliest instruments I've ever seen - T. Lev also used one. It sounds as great as it looks silly. Adrian has put two cabinets in front of him for facial thrust. Pat throws out occasional samples in incongruous places; like a voice (Adrian's) which shouts "Bum!" in unlikely places. I've put up an octave two of the fast running lines in "FraKctured" which were getting lost in the lower register.
