THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN'LL BE COMING ROUND THE MOUNTAIN WHEN HE COMES

The Gonzo Daily - Friday
Richard arrived yesterday evening, and will be staying until Sunday. Graham is off to see his Mama in St Albans, which - I have to admit - that apart from the fact Graham's family live there, and was mentioned once in a song by Al Stewart, is a place I know absolutely nothing about, so I am totally unable to write anything witty about it. All sorts of exciting things are in the offing, including (but not restricted to) a Mike Davis recording and mastering session, Saskia's first big assault on the conservatory ably supported by a gang of young people of various ages, and maybe a couple of middle aged hippies. Her plans are exciting ones, and suggest that the conservatory is gonna be fit for visitors for the first time in years. The first lot of work on Corky Laing's deliciously funny memoirs has now been finished, and will be dropboxed to the great man today. Its all go here!

But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with an orange kitten named after a song by Frank Zappa puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange kitten?
