Ken was first in, followed 10 minutes later by Pat & Trey. We are in process of moving to the mixing studio in town.
Pat Martino's "Consciousness" is steaming along as an accompaniment to the beginning of my e-day. Albert Borgmann's "Holding On To Reality: The Nature Of Information At The Turn Of The Millennium" (University of Chicago Press, 1999) waited in a cupboard at Basement Belew for my return and this morning's chapter addresses the difference in the realization of information by musical performance (as distinct from the score) and the realization of information in books (by reading).

Several Blockbuster videos are waiting for return. One of them is "Dead Weekend", chosen as an accompaniment to brain-death & psyche-dribbling earlier this week. Several surprises accompanied its opening credits. Co-producer Amos Poe. Story by Amos Poe. Directed by Amos Poe. Co-starring (with Stephen Baldwin) David Rasche.
In 1978 Amos Poe was to direct the remake of Godard's "Alphaville" starring Debbie Harry as Natasha von Braun, Anna Karina (?) in the original film. The detective Lemmy Caution was originally played by Eddie Constantine. For the remake, Debbie's co-star was to be - yo! wait for this one - an English guitarist almost universally disliked by his former band-buddies. The film was never made, but the stills from his screen-test were fabbo to the max. One of them even appeared on the front page of Melody Maker in December 1978.
If that isn't enough of Fripp's NY history to bore you senseless, wait about.
David Rasche is a superb actor whose break came in a Broadway play "Shadowbox" around 1977/8. He played "Sledgehammer" in the cod tv-policier series, and showed up in various films such as "Cobra" (he dies quickly & unpleasantly) & "An Innocent Man" (with Tom Selleck) as the bent cop who frames Tom & sent down F. Murray Abram (?). David & I were both in a Transactional Analaysis group in NYC during 1977. A very good man, and one who holds my respect.
With this card, six degrees can now carry me anywhere in the world at all.
