Question of the Day : New Year's Day

Happy New Year!

Over the twelve days of Christmas 2003, our guest-quiz questions are set by Hans Teutiger from Stuttgart, an autograph-hunter with an unrivaled knowledge of Procol gigs down the years. Please read his account below, from which you will be easily able to work where and when he got the autograph he describes.

When, and where, did I receive my eight Procol autograph?

8) Following Spring my ship is on the United States again, a favorite port though I do not overturn the Tee in the harbor! Three Great British bands on the stage in one evening, on the patron day of the British Saint George, tremendous show, I think Procol give Crimson a hard time but many hairy Men in the crowd cheer hard for Fripp, I call them Butterfly Boys which also is the first song of the show. Hirsute agent from band calls me to backstage rooms where I have Autogramm from hairy bass player, problem where to write on dark album not to spoil fine-art picture but he finds his spot and makes 'Alan Can't-write' joke most amusingly as he adds his endorsement.
