Tea: Earl Grey Smokey
Music: Robert Fripp, "Evensong Coda Viljandi"
Time: Evening, tipping into night.
Robert Fripp doesn't sign autographs, sits -- literally -- out of the spotlight when King Crimson reincarnates and plays live and is fond of dropping such aphorisms as: "It is not necessary to be cheerful. It is not necessary to feel cheerful. But look cheerful."
He's also an extraordinarily gifted guitarist, who by all accounts takes his audience as seriously as he asks his audience to take him.
His work with King Crimson can be terrifying and tender, sometimes in the same song ("Starless," anyone?) His Soundscapes, like this one, are often transcendent.
Download it here, but do it quickly. Each free selection lasts only for a limited time.
Then sit and listen, and be still.
And with that, it's time to take my own advice.
