I'd like to hear him speak about Sherbourne house and Bennett much more. kinda sounds like Bas isn't into that stuff though. Too bad since it's of so much more value than the music.
very informative, and i'm glad your recorder didn't fail. it seemed robert was comfortable with you bas. :))))) it's interesting that robert said that stravinsky and bartok wrote some of their music based on folk. of course lark's tongue is my fave track.
Great interview, but I really loved the story prior to the interview that you wrote in the description. Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to secure such a lengthy interview with Fripp?
It's interesting how Fripp seemed to become uncomfortable and suddenly tired and cut the interview short after you got into talking about his leaving KC. I had heard that he thought the end of the world was coming because that's what that group was teaching. He gave up being a rock star for misguided prophecies.
"He gave up being a rock star for misguided prophecies." How on Earth did you come to that conclusion? His period at Sherbourne House, none of which seems to have had anything to do with prophecies but rather teaching, appears to have been key in the development of himself from being a very competent guitarist to his becoming a very successful and much-respected figure in modern music.
What I like,sorry love about Fripp is that he gives his audience some credit for being intelligent.
the man is a philosopher of music
Bas, this is priceless, thanks a million
Waw thanx for such a great journey!
Carry on with poking things out of this greater-than-life Fripp guy

The short answer is: that's a long story, rhinehartd. Thanks for your comment.
“… a radical comparison” - as much as I admire Fripp, I’d call that comparison actually a mad and tasteless one, I’m afraid.
are you an artist?
