Good Evening, Bob!
Good to know you're still on the air! Btw, I have yet to hear your co-hosting duty with Mike Shelley on that special program covering the music history of Manfred Mann. Always wanted to know how they first came across Springsteen's music and how they made the ambitious attempt to cover as many of his songs as they could.

I will say I felt utterly unprepared for the gig, I was told I was doing a jazz thing... I had no idea that I was going to be lit up with such greats.... It was an experience for sure. I will say that all of the musicians were professional and friendly. I was truly blown away.

To my mind King Crimson always fell short, and frustratingly so. The ensemble was exquisite, but the vocalists were always second or third best, and Fripp seemed often to rest on his laurels.

This section of Moonchild separates the tourists from the purists! (I think Fripp excised it from some reissues.)

I know this isn't your cuppa. In the Court is 5 pieces and yet so utterly varied.
