Thanks for that. The story in the faroutmagazine article seems to have been lifted verbatim from this site. And thanks for pointing me at the http://www.calyx-canterbury.fr/mus/ site - good place to read about all our favorite Canterburians and related folks.Originally Posted by pb2015
Now I've got to catch up on Blegvad's work with Andy Partridge and such...
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
I remember Blegvad also said he didn't have the technical skills to play Henry Cow's material. That might be on that site too.
Yes it was.
Surprised that he was even expected to. What were HC thinking?

They were thinking they wanted Dagmar in the band.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
That would be like the Beatles deciding to get Ringo into the group by merging with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.

Perhaps for a while they thought it would be a good idea to incorporate Blegvad and Moore's songwriting, but yes, I have also read that the main idea was that they were interested in adding Dagmar.
Another track is available at Bandcamp: https://amarxe.bandcamp.com/album/tom-penaguin
Those who ordered the Tom Penaguin-CD though should get it one of these days. I got mine today! Very much in the Hatfield & The North- and National Health-style.

I've been playing Jimmy all morning since I heard the sad news. Here's a set I found about a year ago on BC. Jimmy is all over this.
Still no confirmation of Jimmy Hastings' passing other than this page: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discu...y-hastings-rip

Several posts on FB about Jimmy Hastings's passing including one from his nephew (also from Dave Sinclair).
Confirmed:

Family and band members' tributes weren't confirmation enough, thank god for Wikipedia!

Look again - the confirmation is the ondarock.it article (which was identified as the source of the Wikipedia entry).
Plus the Wikipedia deaths page normally doesn't add entries until they are verified.

Finally got around to picking up a copy of Robert Wyatt's 'Different Ever Time' cd set. I have nearly everything on the first cd already - but it provides a very fine 'best of' playlist (even if it does leave out O Caroline). The real treasure, of course, is the set of collaborations on the second cd. I was very pleased with the consistency of this batch - quite jazzy in mood I felt. Well worth getting if you don't have it. The book was a good read a while back too.

Possibly not quite the right place for this...

A lovely short essay - & the news that Robert is doing well is plarticularly heartening, after word came out a few months ago that seemed to suggest he was struggling with his health.
^^^^ I've just read that and popped over to see if anyone had posted it- good news!
