Re: [robbiebasho_forum] Re: Rainbow Thunder

Hi "artpaws"
Thank you for the welcome and I enjoyed your playing.  I will watch the rest tomorrow.  Congrats on the retirement!  I hope that it will allow to have more time to play.    I look forward to hearing more of your  music and that of any fellow board members too.  I came across Robbie's music about 5 years ago now and I must admit that I didn't fully grasp it at the time.  I guess the depth wasn't apparent to me at the time.  Sometimes my favorite artists I don't quite grasp on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd spin.... I purchased the reissue of Venus in Cancer, and a number of tracks really moved me.  I went back to the previous albums in my collection and my eyes were opened. I look forward to learning more about his music.
Also, thank you Alan for the kind offer.
Warm regards,
Ryan Leaf

Welcome, both Ryan and Alan. Speaking of which perhaps a newer member
of the forum has a line on the two elusive mysterious, self-produced
cassettes of Robbie's, "Bouquet" and "Twilight Peaks"??? I have yet to
meet anyone who has even heard them.

I've started posting some raga-style improvisations at YouTube under
the username "artpaws", http://www.youtube. com/artpaws

I have to admit recording is a little intimidating, and has a chilling
effect on the improvisation process. The classical pieces I've posted
have been an even greater struggle, and will probably be re-recorded as
soon as I can. To make matters worse, I have a fierce Inner Critic,
who had to be gagged and bound and tossed into the basement in order to
post anything at all. But I'm serious about wanting to start providing
examples of Basho-style explorations of new territory and have more
lined up for the near future, and so am ignoring the muffled
imprecations of the demented Critic....
