Thanks so much, Glenn and Ephraem. The review in Dusted is indeed interesting and well reasoned. Thanks for that link. Am I mistaken in thinking that you are...
Well, not about to ³come out with,² but about to record. I¹ve got enough stuff for my third album, and just finished a three week tour of Europe playing...
hi Glenn. about the OTHER Basho recording in BONN: according the few details on the folders of the bootlegs i've seen on soulseek, it seems that Robbie played...
Some time ago I traded some CDRs with someone on the John Fahey list (who may not want his name published) and I had a choice of one Basho CDR so chose the...

Hello Robbie and co., I recently discovered this forum and spend an enjoyable evening going through the many insightful posts, the inside stories and the...
Hey Pieter, I'm very glad you have found our modest archive of messages interesting and useful. For me at least, the approaching summer promises a lot more...
Robbie, some of your questions are answered in the notes to the Bonn reissue, which I produced. Bo¹ Weavil laid out considerable funds to put out this album,...
Hello Robbie, Guess you should have bought the Decals CD back in 1991, while it was still around, like I did! (Or the LP in 1971; I was onto it as soon as it...

Hi folks, Maybe some of you have come across the guitarist (and violinist, keyboardist, etc, etc) Fred Frith over the years. I suppose for want of a better...
Nice one. I'm not all that familiar with Henry Cow or Fred Frith, but am most interested now. I would guess that "Life on Venus" be the hommage though. Robbie...
On listening to the half minute on samples on iTunes I'd say "Sheep's Head, 1968" was the one, or failing that "King Dawn" or "First Light". "Life on Venus" is...
Dear all, I have added some more tabs to the files sections. The first is a re-scan of Babs after I did some more minor corrections. The second is an all new...

Hello Robbie, Re. requests for future transcriptions: would you fancy having a go at "Scottish Rites" some time? I can play something like half of it but get a...
