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.”

 

Hey guys, I’m back. Unfortunately had to unexpectedly leave town to care for my mom who wound up in the hospital late last Saturday. But, brought her home yesterday, and came back home today…..so that’s step one. She isn’t getting any younger, but that was a real scare. Glad she is OK, especially at Christmas time, her favorite time of the year.

Got a couple LP’s in the mail while away, so really looking forward to spinning some vinyl this evening.

Hope everyone is well!
