So much going on, and now … sabbatical. I’ll be “out of touch” until next Wednesday. Some select correspondence is available … but it best be good. I leave you to contemplate the following image and it’s origins:

happy incarnation anniversarys go out to DJS and G today.

lets hope for many more and the opportunity for them to buy us drinks sometime ….

Yesterday witnessed an historic Three-person Full Olympic Circle Game.

Here were the participants:

… and here is what was played:

After song 21 (I Believe), a Circle Danse, things got confusing … it looks like perhaps it was the catering …

From here on out we have The Host and Visitor II (WF) enjoying a few more good times.

Persian Curry of chicken, eggplant, potato, and pea was the main dish, served with brown rice.

Sam Adams Lager and Cisco Brewery Summer Lager were on hand.

Mescal for Fire Water

… and Turkish Coffee.

I have seen Robert Fripp many times. 5 or 6 times with King Crimson. 5 or 6 times of just solo Frippertronics/soundscapes. And 5 or 6 times with the League of Crafty Guitarists.

But only once with The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists.

This latter entry was also the latest, and I suspect The Greatest.

Brother Jerome and I had the exceedingly good fortune to sit in the center of the back row in a lovely cathedral like church in Harvard Square. We were then graced with about 65 guitar players, including RF. I lack the mind and vocabulary to describe what happened ….

Unplugged and all over the space of the church and in motion.

Constantly in motion.

After a very long “improvised” bit Fripp said: “That’s all well and good, but can we play any songs?” which then erupted into “Red”. This was followed by two or three works from the Crafty ouevre. Then back into the Sound of the orchestra ….

like the Circle they made around the audience

the sound of passing the chords

sonically spiritually sublime

RF soloing directly behind us, notes perhaps only for Brother Jerome and myself …

An honour and validation of some of my music choices over the years.

Thank you.

Brother Jerome also graced the audience of a public talk I was part of. WF and a friend of his named “Derek” also attended. Another spiritually sublime evening … marked by thunderstorms …

In other news … There has been an ongoing film-preview study with Visitor Blim, trying to sort out of a vast collection works worthy of the Now Today Film Appreciation Society. Rest asssured, the time has not been wasted. So far there have been two films (out of 5 or 6) that have been nominated for The Permanent Collection.

With the extra time we’ve been able to spin a few more Circles of The CIrcle Game, trying out the new “Blim House Standard”

Mingle Mingle Danse Mingle Mingle Danse, pretty nice right?

Here is a list of two past games … songs 1-10 are Visitor Blim and I, the rest is an impromptu game with WF.

The New Blim House Standard isn’t well represented here due to an early catering arrival …

For your study:
