 Cry

The first album I ever bought was a Duane Eddy album.

The first tune I ever picked out on a guitar was Rebel Rouser.

It was his twangy sound, oddly, that led me towards playing bass.

R.I.P Duane.

Georgia Lucas has posted a rather lovely short video of Cropredy on youtube. Plenty of links to it on Facebook, too.

It's just arrived.  Even more of a bargain, actually, as it's signed Smiley

I can't see Fripp stepping back into the beast fully though...can you?


He was quoted last year as saying he made more money from touring with Toyah, together with their YouTube channel than with KC. So no, can't see that. (Wouldn't have thought he needs the money, but his back seems pretty shite so his future touring days are limited, it would seem)


Why do you say that?  Because he sits down, or some other reason?  He's been playing sitting down virtually all his career...


I'm not going in to that here.

Robin George, guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and, so the ladies tell me, quite a good looking boy back in the day.

He never really hit the big time, but he had a popular album in 1985 with Dangerous Music and the single Heartline.

He was local to me, and I used to see him out and about, often riding his bicycle, which wasn't very rock starish.

He played guitar in a temporary version of Asia which featured Carl Palmer, John Wetton, Phil Manzenera, and Don Airey, for some charity shows.

Most recently he's worked with members of Fuzzbox.

(He also played gigs at the same pub as me and my band in the mid 90's but I don't suppose he had that in his C.V)

R.I.P Robin, mate, I'll see you on the other side.

I played Dangerous Music quite a lot at the time.


I thought it was a good start.
I never really spoke to him about why things didn't go further.
He deserved it.
I always got the impression that he didn't want to be a star, he wanted to be a musician.
He was good at that.
