DGM HQ.
A local accent of the broad & landlordly variety is coming through the wall.
09.09 Big Ben is in. Reportedly, the remainder of the staff are at Chez Singleton where Mr. Stormy, is his function as plumber, ie a lover of music, is serving the needs of the Singleton water supply.
10.38 The DGM Plumbing Department has arrived…
… and is moonlighting in the full light of day as Mr. Stormy, archivist & general technical provider…
A major discussion in the kitchen with David & one possible creative future for DGM.
11.25 An e-flurry with Hernan regarding our visit to the Guitar Craft Team in Rosario this coming late September > early October. Guitar Craft will by then have ceased to exist, while The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists will be playing on.
11.45 Shortly off to a full day visiting in Bournemouth.
The street I…

22.33 First visit: to Uncle Bill’s new pad. Not far from the home he was sharing until recently, this is warden-assisted accommodation for the post-mature. Ace. Uncle Bill is in great shape & spirits.
Onto Don Hardyman, who has a new musical arising – The South Coast Jazz Stars and a new jazz club, opening shortly. Don will be in the resident house band, supporting visiting guest stars.
Then to coffee with John Wetton, great nattering & overview of the life of the working player with Road Brother & Fellow Crim.
And finally, to meet with Barbara Licinio, widow of Tino, a co-member of The Ravens & The League Of Gentlemen with Gordon Haskell, these our first two beat groups. (Tino's later discography) Also present: Tino’s Sister Nina & old Winburnian pal to us all, Suzie Wyatt. Barbara drove us into Christchurch for a Girls’ Night Out.
All these visits within perhaps 3 or 4 miles of each other.
Driving back to DGM HQ listening to a compilation of Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins.
Briefly e-flurrying, but refusing to get sucked into that. It waits…
