The Corona Diaries - (0:45) episode 86: December 20 2021: I think they’re recording this episode on the same day, but later at the same place as the previous episode. Steven Wilson. Nick Davis. They are continuing to talk about the album Marillion.com, during which they lapse into a discussion about producers, and who they could’ve worked with. When asked if they could’ve recorded an entire album with Steven, Steve mentioned that his solo album was almost produced by him, but they decided against it because the fact that Steven Wilson have just finished producing the solo album by Fish. That was funny... So far through the chart there was the sound of jingle bells, as in sleighbells, which was a transition between recordings while all there was a package delivered to the door. Ant points out that they don’t play many songs from some albums around the marillion.com era. Diary - family, Toulouse, sewing buttons, drying underwear, true rock life. Jacqueline’s book Marillion: The Fish Years. Toe nail painting. Nice in Nice? Strasbourg. After the diary reading they discuss what Steve would be playing potentially for a Christmas time solo gig. Beautiful crooncast.
