## Resource

So…outside through the open sliding door is the calm azure Caribbean and above, a wide open blue sky, as the tap tap on my cabin door - exactly on time - summons me to welcome in a genius, a legend and someone fast-becoming a “goofball-brother”. It takes one to know one (a goofball I mean…). Now I could bang on for hours about what he has achieved, his extraordinary playing, or the records he sprinkled his peculiar gold dust all over. But you either know already, or you’re about to get a glimpse (you can always Google his discography, I did and it blew my mind). So I invite you to just kick back and enjoy this magic hour. And with that, all that is left is to say is…ladies and gentlemen I give you Adrian Belew!
