A little OT but King Crimson - Frame By Frame

Not sure how I missed this thread! I’ve listened to Frank since 1974. Met him for about 30 seconds on the street in San Francisco circa 1983. I live near San Jose (not Reseda) where in the past 2 years an amazing tribute ensemble Stinkfoot Orchestra has formed and started touring the west coast. I’ve seen them 5 times now. They have had either Ike Willis or Napoleon Murphy Brock as special guest and I have met and chatted with both of those guys. They have a 5 piece horn section, two background vocalists, percussion maniac who NAILs Ruth and Ed Mann’s parts. They focus heavily on the early 70’s repertoire but they do a really broad swatch of material. And true to form, they even do some songs I never want to hear again, e.g. “Beepies n’ Beer” but hey. It’s all part of the fun.
