Peter King: Flying High

Saw him playing recently with his quartet @ Bulls Head. Kindly bought his autobiography with no big expectations. It ended up being my holiday book:astonished. A great autobiography. Peter shows a sincere reflection of a chaotic life full of rich experiences. A great musician and looking forward to seeing him again playing at the 606 club now in November.

I may try to find his email address and send him this sketch:

A brief 600V experience

Andy Evans predicted it when heard the news ” I sense a cartoon is coming”. Well, it wasn’t long till this came up. I guess we all have to experience the fireworks and domino effect of silicon failing above 600V. I laugh now, but it was annoyingly enough that best option was to go for a cup of tea.

Lars needs the 6P21S pentode curves and some other requests are piling up as well, so will have to repair the tracer sooner than later…

 

From VU to LULU, Lou Reed @ Royal Festival Hall

Had the chance tonight of going to a Lou Reed gig here in London. It’s probably the fourth or fifth time I managed to see him performing live, a real privilege. This man continues to reinvent himself, the greatest challenge every artist has…

Why not say that also enjoyed the classics like:

Heroin, waiting for my man, white light, and street hassle!

Without attempting to sound like a critic, a great pleasure to see him (again).
