september already?!!
…summer flies on and september’s here again…admidst hurricanes, political conventions, and lot’s of challenges ahead! hang on!
recap: in August was visited by my friend Markus Reuter, he of innsbruck austria, and he of the ‘touch guitar’ and Tuner…a weeks time playing, recording, and making music–a live duo performance on chuck van eyl’s Stars End program, and a Gojjo perfomance of the new quartet comprised of: john swana on evi, doug hirlinger on traps, markus reuter on touch guitar, and tim motzer on baritone gtr–a formidable group to say the least. our performance was well received and recorded. so will have a listen soon and let you know the results. while markus was in town, i was treated to not 1, but 3 king crimson shows compliments of pat mastelotto who we had a after hang both night one + two in philadelphia. night 3 in nyc at the nokia proved to be the show for me where the crimson showed up…a nice view of stage from vip balcony and a smiling laughing robert fripp – and a ferocious band…whew. lot’s of highlights there, but one of my favorite shows of classic kc. they rocked. afterward, backstage met tony levin…and on to steak dinner with sid smith and markus reuter over some sobering chat about the state of the music biz…then, back to hotel where we ran into adrian belew, who promptly went out with us for a lemon drop martini at the w. discussions insued about the powerful king crimson, adrian power trio, the state of the music bizness, famous king crimson trainwrecks on stage live in rome…etc… what a fun time!
