I'd buy that right now.

That does not look like a whammy bar! Is that your idea of a power cord? 🙄

I think Almost Opaque would make a wonderful box set. Toss in Exhibition Pieces as a bonus cd.

@Tourist That really needs a play list. I might suggest Viva La Voom-Voom to kick it off.

@sauropod Please take it upon yourself to package up Bill, Emi, a guitar tech, a sound guy, and fly them to America. Pick a city, any city, even Kanas City. Don't forget room lodging, ground transportation and food and drink. If it is Seattle, I would even go.

Put it on Zoom, and I will participate from the other side of the world.

Yes, a live RN concert and then all the other items collected into one box. Great. I want to say that there are Red Noise singles on a couple of BN albums sprinkled here and there. It might be worth it for the photographs alone.

Ah, the annual tribble migration. Should this be on the Star Trek post?

I was sort of looking forward to you sharing new tunes. More shredding and less noodling.

That has my favorite version of Conquistador.

So, are you asking for Fantastic Guitars Volume 2? I've suggested Bill Frisell. You could call it Jazz and Jazzier. I could go for Channel Light Vessel 3 / box set. Bill and Mick Jagger run in different circles. Different universes. Here in America, MJ means Michael Jordan. So, the answer is no.

She looks like an East German figure skater, defecting to the west.

OK, let's figure this out. 8-10 PM UK UTC. That is Noon to 2 pm West Coast of America Time. Program Introductions: Hosted by Jon Wallinger from Bill's house with screen shared video from preproduction pieces. Including photos of Bill's toys / trophies. Victor is a must. Greetings by Bill & Emiko Studio song #1 - Bill's guitar of choice from the Magic Toyshop. Studio guest - John Spence explains how the music made in the room (home studio) goes to Fairview. Short video of John at work behind the big board. Could include photo images of Bill from long ago. Studio song #2 - guitar #2 Commentary on the nuances of picking the right guitar for the right passage / layer. Studio guest - Martin Bostock sharing of video of photographic images of Bill in action. Recollection of performances and set pieces. Participants move to the living room and the discussion of what goes into an album. Old days - 3 singles and a bunch of filler, tour, visits to radio stations, and come home to do it all again. Try to get on Top of the Pops. Now - package up music that flows, pick out the right name, design the graphics / chose the photography, master it all and decide on how many units to make. An overview of the Burning Shed / Esoteric partnership. Acoustic song - Bill in the front room. Mayor moderates' questions from the audience. No tour. No live gigs. No radio appearances. No promo hype machinery. Webpages and dealing directly with fans. Bandcamp and other distribution platforms. Facebook. Health. Family updates. Short little snippets of Bill at home with a nice glass of wine speaking with friends. With maybe a few surprise friends or family. [That is your cue, Elliot.] Zoom or Teams or some other meeting software. Everybody muted except for the speakers. Could have nice graphics between segments. 5 people total on site. However, many it takes to create the little videos / photography / graphics. Think of it as an extended Holiday video with some live look ins into Bill's world, discussing his career and listening to his music. Maybe seeing some of his art. A COVID World production. A Nelsonica like no other. No need to hire a guitar technician to move everything. No need for performance clothes. No overwhelming anxiety. No need to drive. Maybe an autographed keepsake post event. An ep sort of deal. Could help pay for everything.

Did you ever think that there might be a song to follow up Tequila? You know that song by the Champs that dates from forever ago? Where the lyrics is one word? Well, here is one.

To cite a Brooksie song: Momma was a rocker.

I like this a lot as it plays on two eras: TV heads from Drastic Plastic and Lost Satellites. Video junkie looking for a fix. As the tear indicates, it is broken.

Preston's medium is glass.

Bayberry.

I just spent 90 minutes chatting with people over many, many miles in multiple counties, and jurisdictions. So, I would think that a Zoom call could do the trick. Or a Microsoft TEAMS meeting. Essentially one would be the host, invite people to participate and would set the schedule. I would think that 2 hours should suffice. The agenda would be intro of Bill in his studio, however much time he would grant us to tour his set up and ask questions. Then maybe a preview of a song in progress, or a performance - Bill's choice. Bill would not even have to be in attendance the whole time. A virtual auction of items could occur, folks could chat with each other. The biggest challenge is who has the software and capabilities to host, coordinate an acceptable hour for all of use worldwide Nelsonians to be on our computers, and Bill's availability. I believe that there is an option to record everything. Bits and pieces could then be uploaded to whatever platform for further distribution. This is where I would call on Mr. Mayor to put forth a proposal to Bill.
