	You can't omit his searing (no shit...) solo on 'Baby's on Fire'
from Eno's 'Here Come the Warm Jets.'  The great thing about this track--
besides how it sounds--is the story behind the studio session when it was
recorded.  Eno asked Fripp to come over and play a solo for the album he
was putting together.  Fripp arrived, listened to the backing tracks once,
had them rewind and play them again, and he laid down that solo on the first
try, no rehearsal, no nothing.  It's an incredible piece of work, and so far 
beyond the histrionics of heavy metal's guitar heroes that I don't even want
to talk about it, I just want to go listen to it again.  See ya....
