  Adamson
Adamson of Brunswick, whose son, John is critically ill on board the Shiloh yacht Coronet, tried to visit him today, but although she succeeded in boarding the Coronet she was not allowed to go to the forecastle to see her son, or even to leave him the delicacies which she had brought.
Adamson and her friends are indignant at the treatment which she received, and she insists that the boy, who is about 20 years of age, is in very critical condition, suffering from scurvy.
Adamson left her home in Brunswick, taking with her a large basket, containing fruit, other delicacies and many little necessities for the sick room, intending them for her son and for the other sick people on board the Coronet.

 ShotByBothSides.com Adamson Solo
The landscape Adamson's music inhabits is familiar from countless movies and their soundtracks - by 1960s icons John Barry and Bernard Herrmann, soul heroes Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes, barflies Tom Waits and John Lurie.
Many current instrumental music writers claim cinema as an influence; what sets Adamson apart from this crowd is his playfulness, the way he relentlessly undercuts any hint of cool with a deliciously self-deprecating sense of humour.
Throughout its history, cinema has been the most escapist of art forms, and throughout his career Adamson has seemed to be escaping his life: physical pains, the deaths of his parents and sister, the mixed-race background that left him feeling alienated from fl and white communities simultaneously.
