well, not ENTIRELY off-topic.

www.robertfrippunplugged.com

$115.00 plus shipping for a 6-cd set.
robert talks to you for 6+ hours of his favourite soundscapes.

is this like the monty python "verbal abuse" sketch?

"this is smug impatience?, oh, well i was looking for demeaning
condescension..."

he is, after all, a notoriously abrasive personality.
i never understood his stand-offishness towards fans.

if you don't want the spotlight and fans, then become
a plumber or an auto mechanic [not intended to diminish
those professions, just pointing out that they are not
of "celebrity" status, unless you have a tv show...]

just bringing up this project/product as i don't recall
mention of it here previously... anyone own it?
