On the one hand, postings promoting local gigs and radio broadcasts that most of us can't be involved in AREN'T universally appreciated, but all the same, they can be useful. Even if we can't make it to the show, we can still keep our thumbs on the pulse of which venues are happening and are more or less "loop sympatico". Occasionally, listmembers have travelled to "meet and greet" at such events. Playlists for programs like Bill's can be a resource for finding out about artists we may not have otherwise known about. And there's always the "delete" button... My suggestion that Bill reserve regular spots for us on his playlist was made with tongue in cheek, but at the same time it only makes sense that a virtual community based around music makes the most of every opportunity to hear what its members are doing. The original Looper's Delight Subscriber's CDs <http://www.loopers-delight.com/cd1/LDCD1.htm> and <http://www.finleysound.com/loop/> were a start. Since then, LD listmembers have been involved in a number of spin-off projects such as: <http://www.loopxchange.com> and <http://www.mp3.com/sourceproduct> and there are several others in the works. The Loop Artists of the World page on the LD site <http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/profiles.cgi> includes a field where listmembers can supply a link to places where their music can be heard. However, the site really doesn't have a "Links" page per se; wouldn't it be cool (Kim?) if there were a page where a bunch of links to listmember-related projects were assembled in one place? And wouldn't it be even cooler if more listmembers took advantage of the new technology (mp3's, home cd burners, etc.) to participate in the sorts of projects that would allow us to hear each other?
