RE: Looper Moving! (maybe)

["Brother Sean" <info@brothersean.com>]

You guys are great! Thanks for all the info, moving is such a tough
decision...

Like Richard and others on the list stated I am somewhat a loner to,
mainly a defense mechanism I guess. I'm 25 and I just got out of a three
year relationship with a band that ended very poorly. After that I took
voice lessons for eight months (still taking them) and learned how to
sing. Now I sing, play guitar and loop. No longer did I want to be
dependent on other musicians. I got to the point were I cared so much
about my music that it hurt too much to feel myself being controlled by
the lives of others that didn't care as much as I did. My only musical
partner now is my brother who plays bass and writes.

As for Chicago it is an amazing town with a great music scene. I moved
here two years ago from Indianapolis, IN. Tough scene there, lot of
cover bands
and in general very little diversity. I agree with the wise words of
many on the list regarding making your own scene. Musicians are very
focused on their own work and often times, especially in my case, find
it hard to find the time to cultivate a "scene". I guess the thing I
like most about Chicago is that it is so diverse musically. 

So when I stated I was moving for looping only that was a small fib...
My biggest thing against Chicago is the cost of living and the
population density. Of course I could move back to Indy watch corn grow
and live cheap. But I think not.

Thanks again for the info fellows! I'll keep you posted.
