Then rain – so lunch inside.

Erupting e-fury on our ongoing problems with UMG - reply to your audit? why? but would you like to meet with some of our people who have no authority to actually settle any of your concerns, like being paid what we owe you? – Publishing. These concerns, and the sampling of Schizoid Man by Kanye West in Power, are now interlinked.
This is not Kanye’s fault & I have no problem with the use of the sample; rather, I encourage it. Regrettably, KW is collateral damage in a situation of UMG’s making.

Accordingly, I have just issued instructions to George the Lawyer. George was a partner at JP Kennedy’s when John Kennedy acted for me in the Endless Grief dispute.

The morning sitting

I’m hoping Mr Fripp might talk about the practice of the morning sitting.

The morning sitting

:: Posted by eclecticguy on June 03, 2010
I come to praise the morning sitting and to ask a few questions. In my very brief exposure to this practice, I have to say that it is remarkable in every way. The morning sitting has become part of my routine for the past few months and I have noticed some things going on which do not concern me, but rather intrigue me… Does it sound like I’m going in the right direction?
And one final plea: has Robert ever recorded his teaching of this?
When he led our group through this, it was marvelous. Personally, I think this would be helpful to others who have not experienced it and to preserve it for posterity…

 It is not possible to exaggerate the importance of the morning sitting. Life without it is rather like trying to walk without legs.
It is to be introduced in person, for several reasons, so a recorded and/or written introduction does not have the same effect. Its preservation in posterity is its practice. And the quick answer to Mr. EclecticGuy is, yes.

The Minx won two games, myself one. Barbara did not seem to mind losing all three, and there were several touch & go moments when this fate was about to befall me.

Lotsa fun.
