MOTM

Saw RR in Toronto on Saturday.  Great show in the church that the  
Cowboy Junkies recorded their landmark album "The Trinity Sessions".

Two things:

1.- RR is the Anti-Fripp.  He talks to the crowd and helps sell CDs  
right up until game time and then steps on stage and plays.  No  
artistic "baggage" whatsoever.  Refreshing indeed.  (BTW Fripp is my  
fave guitar-meister so this is obviously offered in jest you cranky  
MOTM would-be flamesters.)

2.- RR uses a clippy light with a bulb that slowly changes colour  
pointed at his MOTM.  What is that bulb and where can I get one?

PLL, BFG

So RR invites flash photographs during his performance?

Lights, please! (pun intended)

Well some pinhead DID take a flash photo (which is VERY annoying to  
me) and RR didn't storm off stage.  ;-)

Hi all,

I attended a concert in the late 1960s given by the great organist 
Virgil Fox at a dedication of a new pipe organ. Fox was in the middle of 
performing the "Wedge" fugue by J.S. Bach, a very complex piece of music 
requiring an adept player, which Fox was playing from memory.

Right in the middle of a complex passage in the Fugue, Fox stops 
playing, looks into the audience and asks "Is someone taking 
photographs? Please stop it!". I was shocked and there was dead silence 
in the audience. The auditorium was well lit, so there had been no 
flash. It was obviously the "click" of the shutter that had annoyed him. 
Then he turns back to the instrument and picks up performing the Fugue 
right where he left off, completely absorbed in the music as if nothing 
had happened . I was not only astonished at the break in the 
performance, but how he just got right back into the piece. Brilliant, 
if not temperamental performer.

Regards, Scott E.

think geek, colorkinetics, or the like. our lighting crew uses CK fixtures 
for shows, they can frequently be found on ebay for a couple hundred.
