… to the Guitar Circle as begun by Robert Fripp.

Last week Other Derek and I ventured to the Glen Cove Mansion on Long Island to participate in “Zen and the Art of Guitar; an Introduction to the Guitar Circle” led by Robert Fripp.

Quick summery: yes, this was and remains an excellent thing to do. I always sensed Robert as a remarkable man. These days with him further proved it.

An excellent, funny, compassionate man of extraordinary intelligence and profound vision.

So glad I entered this circle and not just left it in the domain of theoretical.

On the return trip we spent the night in NYC. 2 fellows joined the band Other Derek and I began earlier in the programme. Here are The Three Dereks performing “The Mistress of the Night Terrors”:
