Starfire II Bass On the Way!

Hey, I like that! One King Crimson Avatar, comin' right up!

So what does the "TPR" stand for in "SF2, TPR, Mahogny" I wonder.

Hello Jahn,

TPR stands for 'Transparent Red' and the bass is from 1998.

Have fun with it!

Sincerely,

The dance of the puppets
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun.
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournaments begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the crimson king.

The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams.
I wait outside the pilgrims door
With insufficient schemes.
The black queen chants
The funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king.

The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower.
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour.
The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
The orchestra begin.
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king.

On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke;
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax.
The yellow jester does not play
But gentle pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king.

I left out the 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' lyric. Quiz next Tuesday on memorizing the lyrics, extra points for any detectable meaning.... cj

Absolutely; double extra points and being excused from taking the final .... you have it? Whoa ...!! Goth before there was Goth ... 8)

TPR=Transparent Red. So simple, so elegant. Thanks Hans, another mystery solved! And I have fond memories of '98, so that reissue year jives with me. Long Live Prog Rock!

Hath thou againseth the Bigsby a tort with us to share?

'tis a sad tale of ye olde "fox 'n grapes" adage forsooth, my good fellow. perchance I come across one when the stars align rightly, a bigsby doth approach the threshold nigh. but alas, for now a better chance have i of swyvin' one o' the local Bowery luminaries. :twisted:

Aww go on! Stretch the triple into a four bagger! Bigsby be damned!

Would it a fine addition to your treasure make and, King Crimson, further your adversaries and benefactors, both near and far, impress.

Evil, thine name is LTG. :evil:

Our BB Racoon Lodge Brother Billy D Light just put up another .... Crimson .... '68(?) SF3

"....In the Court of the Crimson king ...

Ok so that's not me. And that's not Zappa. But it IS a Guild. See? We have something in common!

No Guild content, but Zappa segueing from "Joe's Garage" into "Why Does It hurt When I Pee." :shock:
