keep a bit of internet somewhere safe in case it runs out

 'fruit tree...

they'll stand and stare when you're gone...'

nick drake. there was a prom of orchestral arrangements of his songs (and those of his mother molly drake). seemingly the arrangements that were used on the albums themselves by robert kirby were not used unaltered. maybe using some of  the harry robinson arrangement for river man. lots of younger arrangers on the gig sam gale, peter riley and jochen neuffer and tom trapp.  

nick drake was a miss for joe boyd - and he couldn't understand why. the stuff that missed at the time is now famous (vashti bunyan, nick drake), the stuff that was a hit at the time (the incredible string band) is of its time. 

interesting horsemouth experienced an internet outage. he edited some photos, he watched some clips, he has listened to some mp3s. he's back. he'll try again in the morning. 

he has slept in. the internet is still on the blink. horsemouth will have to find the phone numbers to get in touch with them. (phew it has just come back on). 

'keep a bit of internet somewhere safe in case it runs out' advises a friend. 

horsemouth was contemplating having to read actual books, watch tv and write in a physical diary.
