What is Mr. Stormy up to in SoundWorld II?

While preparing the next download, he is also checking some of the cassette archives I…

II…

III…

Most of these mean nothing to a Stormy Mundy. To my eyes, there is a lot here, including a series of Indiscretions – tapes of conversations recorded (openly) on a mono Sony handheld cassette recorder in NYC in 1977-78 with Eno, Phillip Glass, The Roches, Karen Durbin & other pals & acquaintances from my time in the city. Some of this surfaced on Exposure & The League of Gentlemen but much remains in the archive, unheard, unknown and, as far as Mr. Stormy goes, unloved. Also, a cassette of an acoustic guitar duet at a Sherborne House Saturday performance night by myself & another student, Don the art teacher.

On a table, this…

And what is the degree of separation from Mojo to this box of tapes?

Look closer…

These are the cassettes that ran during the recording sessions for Fripp & Summers at Arny’s Shack in Parkstone, although which album I won’t know until I listen. Since a lot of the material was generated during improv, the improvs were recorded so we could listen back & learn any of the arising ideas that spoke to us.

Also in the pile is a video of RF & The LCG released by Cromwell Productions, filmed in Italy in March 1991 by Bob Carruthers Esq., the popular & well-known music educator & saviour of Scottish rugby.

14.06  Off to Bournemouth.

18.33 The DGM Park at early afternoon…

… on the road to the Sixpenny Handley roundabout…

… and Cranborne I…

II…

Returning, the Horton Inn > Cranborne Road…

… and on the junction between Cranborne & Wimborne St. Giles…

… the sign declares that teas are available in Wimborne St. Giles on Sunday afternoons & Bank Holidays. Yippee! will exclaim former residents of the Red Lion House, those who enjoyed these afternoon teas on a regular basis, some 19-21 years ago. Wimborne St. Giles is a pleasant one-mile walk, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, from Cranborne.

Arriving back, on the Guestbook…

Was RF’s sister on TLC’s "Little People, Big World" last night?

The Sistery Person told me about this programme a few months ago, so the answer is most likely, yes.
