Stafford.

The skies opened and soaked the actors who continued, damp to the max, playing to dry spectators under their canopies. By the end of the play, the rain had stopped and the players were mainly dried out. Little Horse is in the bath now, warming up.

My evening has been spent with fingers snapping like whipcords, leaping across the fretboard of a red Fernandes. Several new ideas for Nouvo-Metal Crimson involve finger combinations that are exceptionally hard for me.

Also, a call to Los Angeles & Tool's manager Pete, formerly their tour manager for several years. Tool are being very helpful and generous towards Crimson as their Tour Buddies. Pete originates in Eastleigh, further along the South coast from Bournemouth. Justin is English. So, both Tool & King Crimson have English managers and one English player. Spooky or what?

The draft ad for the upcoming Crimson Tool tour was j-pegged to me today and is very strong. Needless to say, I am excited by the prospect of touring with Tool. This will change Crimson although I'm not sure how.
