[:-!]Peccato.

Una cronaca dell'epoca (prima che se ne perda la memoria).



The big news in August was Phil's marriage to Jill Tavelman on Saturday 4th. The reception was in the garden of Phil's Surrey home, with a big marquee to accommodate all the famous and not-so-famous guests - and with a stage down one end should Phil wish to get behind a drum kit!

The theme was '50's style, and a jazz band, the Bob Kerr Whoopee band, provided general entertainment, and Phil's manager Tony Smith was best man.

By the time Phil took the stage, he'd lined up an interesting band that kicked straight off into a set of familiar rock'n'roll numbers. The band ran: Eric Clapton on guitar, Robert Plant on vocals, Daryl Stuermer guitar, Gary Brooker on keyboards, Mo Foster on bass, and of course Phil on drums.

After their set there followed quite a surprise in the form of another 'instant' band line-up: Steve Hackett guitars, Chester Thompson on drums, Mike Rutherford on bass, Phil on vocals and also Robbie Blunt and Bob Mayo from Robert Plant's band. Not surprisingly the material was very close to Genesis' music, and an excellent time was had by all! In keeping with the informal, inpromptu arrangements of the playing through the day, none of these interesting combinations were recorded - it was very much a one-off. Steve Bishop also joined in for one song at one point in the proceedings, and amongst musicians who were there but didn't join in the musical activities were Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Adam Ant. Taylor Hackford ('Against All Odds'-film) and Ahmet and Neshui Ertegan from Atlantic Records in New York were also there amongst a crowd that included Pamela Stephenson and Billy Connolly, people from the village and the landlord from Phil's local pub!

One immaculately dressed guy caused much confusion because everyone thought he looked familiar and very famous but couldn't place him - he actually turned out to be the person who installed Phil's jacuzzi!

Phil 'n Jill had time for only a short break after as Phil wanted to be here while his children Simon and Joely were over from Vancouver for the summer holidays. At the end of August they went back and Phil 'n Jill went off on honeymoon to a suitably exotic location. When they got back Phil continued work on his new album - writing songs, planning recording and what various embellishments to add...

Approfittando della convalescenza mi sono letta i libri di Giammetti su Banks, Hackett e Collins (bellissimi davvero)[8:-x], e, a parte le questioni prettamente tecniche, devo dire che il buon vecchio Phil sembra avere davvero in cuore "ballerino"[;)][;)], anche perche' mentre era ancora sposato con Jill, e' entrata in ballo Lavinia, una vecchia fiamma di 20 anni prima (presente gia' ai tempi del matrimonio con la prima moglie: strano tira e molla), che poi sembra sia stata la causa del termine del secondo matrimonio. Se poi ci mettiamo che subito dopo ha incontrato Orianna............e che poi ha chiuso anche con lei.............[:0]
