Robert Fripp's Diary

Sunday 30 June 1974

Sore throat Coffee amp double

9.30
Sore throat. Coffee & double prunes. Drive to Philipsburg Mid-State airport. Lots of wildlife. Message - Sister ’phoned.  Case handle has broken. Rubber band, minus George C’s case to Pittsburgh.

Feeling: uptight. (write up) Journal.
Slept on flight & to Newark & to Providence.

16.00 Arrive but without baggage.
c.16.45. Hotel & to restaurant.  Second in, last served. Waitresses & cooks at union meeting. I have been eating on my own for some time. The three lads are on another table.

Baggage not expected until 20.00

Realise:
Situations are developing to an extreme. Wonder how much I should take.  Feeling like going off the road. 

18.05 Cat nap until 18.15. Woke up refreshed.  Shower & to gig.

Rick Kemp of Steeleye Span well into group. Would love a tape of his blowing with us.  Tell Barbara 3 handles have broken in 3 days since I accepted the ouija board.  Change strings. DC emphasises giving the blowing a chance.  BB Don’t announce improvisation.

Gig: good. Silly announcement: Jouney to the centre of the cosmos, or I merged with Atman. Two blows; more spacey than before. I stepped out on “Starless”.

Reaction good.

Harvey mends suitcase handle. This anti’s JW – he thinks it’s unfair. I disagree. Lost with JW & DC returning to hotel.

c.1.05 ‘Phone Sister.
