Hotel Acceptable, somewhere near Knoxville, TN.

Arrived. Tom has dropped me off and is in search of the Courtyard Marriot on the other side of the freeway.

10.43 Morning View I…

 

Morning View II…

Too busy with e-flurrying to walk to Starbucks. Shortly, Hell Boy Tom is carrying us both to Nashville.

14.56      The Basement, Chateau Belewbeloid.

En route, at a pit stop…

What is Hanky Panky’s?

In the Garage Belew, Ade’s cherished velocipedal beasts are receiving his loving attention: I…

Organising and e-flurrying. A back-door call with Tom for 16.30.

22.15 Belcourt Theatre, Nashville.

Venue (courtesy Hell Boy Tom)…

Stage I …

The carpet is not as grand as some that have graced stages, but more colourful than the gig mat we carry.

Stage II…

My pal Billy Sheehan is featured in the slideshow.

Dressing Room I…

A good audience. I have no idea what the music might have been. During the Q&A a flash went off! It was Biff, our official FOH tour photographer: an accident. Poor Biff.

The play-off music was the public debut of ProjecKt Six: a King Crimson ProjeKct – Fripp & Adrian: the last track of our first day’s recording on 18th. February. Computer crashes lost most of our work but this was rescued by Ken Latchney, performing acts of heroism in StudioBelew, from the digital-embers of our recording.

All Quarters’ Maintainer: Hell Boy Tom. 

01.03 Ade brought me back to The Basement in his wonderful vintage Mercedes.

A long discussion with Martha and Ade re: future plans, including the two words that cannot be named; their feelings about recent arisings; and hopes for the future.
