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 Robbie, thanks for your quite extensive reaction. A quick reply: Your concerns about the possibly negative impact of freely sharing Basho's music do make...
Dear All, I've just uploaded a recently finished transcription of Babs to the files section. The format is pretty much the same as the Golden Shamrock effort...
Hi all, I've just joined the group. If anyone is interested, I have Rainbow Thunder in lossless FLAC format. Played on a high-end turntable, declicked using...
Hello, I recently joined the group and would love to hear that, as I haven't heard that album before. Thank you for the offer and welcome to the group. kind...
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...
... I have an MP3 copy of Twilight Peaks, and a CDR copy on the way from another source... I still don't know anyone that has Bouguet though alas. BTW I have...
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...
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...
... I have been trying to decipher Lost Lagoon Suite but it's a tough one. It is pretty hard to get the same sitar-esque sound with a 6 string. Any tips for a...
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...
Well, I hadn't looked into the possibility of there actually being a Lost Lagoon in Vancouver, but that certainly makes sense! Also, as you may or may not...
Sure, I'd love to have a go! I'll try and do something over the weekend. It will be interesting to see whether we agree. ... at "Scottish Rites" some time? I...
Hello, I had a quick play around today but didn't get very far into the picked section before I found something more pressing and less draining to be getting...
Alas, it looks like the album scans on the RB Wikipedia page have finally gone, on the grounds of 'fair use'. Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. ...
Hi, everyone, My name is Chuck. I've enjoyed the music of Robbie Basho for about 25 years, which is around the same time I've played 12 string guitar. Heard...
Hey Chuck, Welcome to the group! It's an interesting question, I personally don't know whether either of them ever saw or knew of Basho. I'm from a different...
Hi, Robbie, Thanks for your very interesting reply. ... The relationship to celtic music is quite interesting, because it one of the few forms of western...
Before I make yet another plea to anyone that might have "Bouquet" in any format, I came across this link to a great interview with Robbie from 1974: ...
