Well here we are again. Almost the end of another year. The gigging year ended very nicely for me. A trip to Haugesund for the Haugaland Prog and Rock Festival in November turned out to be special. I did a few songs with new friends Arabs in Aspic during their show, and I had a great time hanging out with them. It is likely we will collaborate on a recording project next year. It was nice to have the roar of a band behind me and I really had a great time during my solo set at he Record Fair on the following day. I bumped into many old friends and made a few new ones. John and I had a really good time and John has a high opinion of Norway and the people.
Last gig was at the famous Band on the wall venue in Manchester with Focus. I enjoy playing their gigs and I like their audience a lot. I seem to be able to connect with them although my music is very much of a contrast with Focus. It really helps that the band are very friendly as well as interesting.
Apart from this I have been recording and recording. I seem to have become quite obsessed with the entire process and I am pleased with it all. I guess I am almost half way through toward the finished product. Luke will be heading this way soon to help out with some vocals and orchestrations. Certainly writing posts here has taken a back seat to the recording but so has the fishing so you know I am very serious about my next release.

That promotion has really gone to his head,
ReplyDeleteHi Edgar,
ReplyDeleteI am writing from RIETI.... yes, just that "hick town in middle Italy" where you played very few minutes at the Kharnoval about 50 years ago.
Our local cultular and historical Archive is working to officially remember the 1969 Kharnoval days and happenings, including the unlucky historical EBB performance you described in the Wasa Wasa inner notes.
We are collecting documents, pictures, interviews, and everything possible from those days.
It will be a pleasure, even to get your long time forgiveness for your abrupt gig stop, to have from you some memories, interview and anything else to be posted in the Rieti Archive official website.
The memorial event is scheduled on April 16.
Awaiting for you kind reply you'll find below my email address.
All the best
Luigi Ricci
