The comedy show was a big success and a hell of a lot of fun. I didn’t advertise much this time, but I’m planning more in the fall and I’ll get the word out earlier and farther.
I’m still in the midst of one of the busier summers I’ve had in a while, so the posts will continue to be sporadic for a while longer.
I’m heading out to Beautiful Ohio next week. (OSU grads stand and sing here). I haven’t been there in years. My parents usually travel here to see us (well, to see the Grandkid. I just happen to be here) so it’s time to go the other way.
I’m having one of those stretches of time where everything seems to break. It’s running the gamut from a leaky faucet I can’t seem to fix to the transmission in our mini-van that costs way more to fix than I care to mention.
I recently had a lovely evening in the back yard of a neighbor drinking and talking with many of the bloggers on my blogroll and some other great folks from the area. Thanks for the hospitality, Greg. And Ross, great to finally meet you. I’m taking you up on that Rotary lunch soon.
My latest musical obsession is King Crimson. Especially the 80’s and 90’s lineup of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford and Tony Levin. This is Prog Rock Magic, folks, with a paranoid edge that makes David Byrne look downright well adjusted.
More later, perhaps from the wilds of the Lake Erie shore.

All I remember from King Crimson is “The Hall of the Mountain King” or something like that from way back. Anything else you recommend? Next time you do the comedy thing, get in touch with the newspaper. We would have done a feature for you. We are partly to blame for not pursuing, however — I know all about crazy summers. Have fun in Ohio.

Glenn-
“In the Court of the Crimson King” is their first album and a classic of prog rock, although it hasn’t aged well.
I can recommend “Discipline”, “Beat” and “Three of a Perfect Pair” from the quartet mentioned above.
Also,”Thrak” from the 90’s line-up and “The Power to Believe” from 2003. (Their last studio album.)
The 70’s stuff is kind of hit or miss as to how dated it sounds, although “Red” and “Lark’s Tounge in Aspic” are both great records.

Also, Glenn-
More comedy coming in the fall. I’ll keep you posted.
