Puffball, That must have been a couple of great concerts!!!
 

Indeed they were Tim.  Both shows were at small venues.  The musicians, including Fripp came and mingled with the audience asking their opinion.  The California Guitar Trio were an offshoot (maybe more like successor since Guitar Craft ended a while ago) who still perform (before COVID) around Southern California.

I don’t believe there was a picture in the CD of how they perform.  They form a horseshoe with Fripp on one end.  Anywhere from 7 to 9 other musicians form the group.  Fripp leads but the others perform their parts without any cues needed.  They all played the same Ovation hollow body acoustic guitar but with steel strings.  That might be evident from the CD.

Guitar Craft was a residential program at Claymont Court in West Virginia that Fripp held for several summers.

One aphorism Fripp used with the group was “If where we are going is how we get there, then we are already where we are going.”
