It's a reader's paradise at the moment with the new book by Martin and the simultaneous release of the updated edition of Sid Smith's "In The Court Of King Crimson". In the course of purchasing the Crimson book I stumbled across yet another odd coincidence, this one involving Messrs Newell and Fripp. Anyone who's searched eBay for the Guv's output has no doubt encountered various books by H. Newell Martin and C. Martin Newell. As it happens, there is also another Robert Fripp who is three years older than the guitarist and hails from the same part of England! This alt-Fripp ended up as a writer in Canada; he has produced a couple of volumes celebrating the history and culture of Wessex, not so dissimilar to someone we know who likes to celebrate Essex in literature. The mind boggles (or maybe my mind is more boggle-prone than most). Is the world ready for a collaborative volume by Newell-Fripp about the pleasures of rural Britain? Certainly more likely than a guitar duet by Newell-Fripp.
martinnewell66: Hello All, Sorry I'm late for the party, I tried to join earlier but it was just too many questions. I understand WHY of course. At least we won't get those nasty little spammers anymore. Very busy here by the way.

diskojoe: Welcome, Martin. Better late than never. I know that you're working on lots of good stuff that's coming. Here in the Witch City we're still into the Halloween season w/plenty of tourists, especially on the weekends.
