Uniquely Fripp and Fripp: Speaking Master and Guitar Legend Join Forces for February 2008 San Francisco Bay Area - From Press Release December 6, 2007

Arthur and Edie Fripp look down from Heaven and wonder how they managed to create such incredible, quirky, and totally brilliant children!

Each well known in her and his own arena, Patricia Fripp and Robert Fripp will speak on life, business and communication -- and, of course, more on February 19, 2008. Friends and fans of both the Fripp kids are excited to be part of this unique event.

Meetings and Conventions Magazine says, "Patricia Fripp is one of the country's most electrifying speakers." Patricia is also a very sought-after, sales presentation skills coaches. Her brother Robert is a world-famous guitarist, composer,and producer. Robert Fripp is unlike many legendary musicians. He is an intellectual, exceptionally well-read in multiple areas of study, and yet a modest man. Robert is equally comfortable discussing the history of religion with a country vicar as he is discussing world economics with someone like the late Sir Edward Heath (a Prime Minister of Britain) -- who was for many years a neighbor. Founding member of King Crimson, Robert Fripp has collaborated with the likes of David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno. In fact, Rolling Stone magazine named Fripp 42 among the top 100 guitarists of all time.

Imagine both Fripp & Fripp as presenter coaches!

Patricia Fripp is a Hall of Fame speaker. However, her brother Robert Fripp has been giving guitar lessons for 47 years, and directing Guitar Craft courses for 23 years. His message to his students on how to go from beginner to master has much in common with what his sister Patricia Fripp has been teaching presentation and speaking schools for the past 10 years.

The focus of this up-close and personal event will be to give you a behind-the-scenes look of how these incredible siblings created excellence in their personal and professional lives . . . and show you how. Robert started tone deaf with no sense of rhythm and became a musical genius. Patricia left school at 15 and advises CEO on their presentations and is in-demand keynote speaker.

This is a formally informal evening. The audience will have plenty of time to ask questions. If you are one of Patricia's speaker friends or students, or interested in Robert's spoken performances this one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated events are something you must NOT miss. Bring your friends.

How to Be a Hero On and Off the Platform From Beginner to Mastery in Business, Performance and Life

This is a one-of-a-kind learning experience for anyone who is interested in communicating more effectively, presenting in a more profound way, or just becoming more successful in life. You will meet and learn from a legend from the music world, Robert Fripp. Patricia's brother Robert is a founding (and ongoing) member of King Crimson and collaborator with David Bowie, Brian Eno, Blondie, Peter Gabriel and Daryl Hall.

Consider this:

• Music is a wonderful language of analogy and metaphor.
• Are we in tune? Are we in tone? Are we in time?
• When we are in tune, we move from the possible to the impossible.

As much as Robert is internationally known for his brilliance with the guitar... he is a superb and entertaining speaker. Robert is as eloquent a speaker as he is a master performer. For many years, following his solo performances, Robert Fripp has engaged and delighted his audiences with his impromptu conversations and highly entertaining Q & A sessions. Discipline & the Act of Music first became popular in his college lecture tours during the early 1980s. You may even hear what Jimi Hendrix said to Robert: it is his Hendrix story!

NOTE: Robert Fripp will NOT be bringing his guitar and please do NOT take photos during the session. Patricia says, "Brother is not like his sister! Robert is quiet, shy, unassuming, modest, not a shameless self promoter. Many say he is a genius. When asked how he feels about that, he replies, 'I know it isn't true . . . so I doubt their judgment on other issues.' "
