Toyah is at Manchester Airport

12.05
Toyah is at Manchester Airport with BA flight computers down, but with a boarding pass in hand; and Ken, Wonder Engineer, is setting up the Lunar Module for its next interplanetary venture - Adrian descends the stairs to the Basement in a few minutes.

Ade has already been down with several lyric ideas printed up for my perusal. I didn't discuss with him whether he was up to the job, or not. That's a decision best left for posters to Elephant Talk. A rapid mental survey of all other possible suggested applicants for the job lead me right back to the ideal candidate - Adrian Belew. I'll discuss this with Trey & Pat and see if we can all agree on offering Ade the gig, risking the wrath of the loyal 1973 King Crimson fan base, that is.

This morning's beginning reading: "Deep Time - How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia" (Avon Books 1999) by Gregory Benford. Then on to guitar, with pencil in hand, and ideas for developing "Seizure" and "Heavy ConstruKtion" before moving to the new Roland GR33 guitar synth. I'm fiddling about and customising some programmes.
