AMENDED FAMOUS LIVE LOOPING ARTISTS



oh gosh,  I keep putting my foot in my mouth.
I shouldn't make these posts late at night.
Also this posted strangely on the digest so I'll repost with corrections.
(note to self..........don't put colons into subjects headers for the 
digest)

Here were my obvious brain farts with apologies (thanks,  Rainer).

It's  TODD REYNOLDS not Tim Reynolds.   doh!!!!
A really idiotic mistake considering I really love his music and have been
corresponding with him offlist all week long.

And leaving out ZOE KEATING?   unforgiveable.   She indeed is making such 
waves that
she can make both lists.

LOOPSTOCK not loopstockhausen  (I was mixing up two of my favorite music 
festivals
that I've played at..........sorry Hans).

LUCA FORMENTINI's loopfestivals  in Lago Di Garda also were a glaring 
omission.
(as well as his original experimental guitar festivals)
PETER KONIUTO for the Boston Looping Festival of 2003
BRUNO KLEINEFELD for the Milano Looping Festival of 2003
PAUL MARHSALL for the Belfast Live Looping Festival of 2003
GARETH WHITTOCK for the Swansea Loop Festival of 2003 and 2008

and RAINER STRASCHILL plays just about everything and is not soley a 
guitarist.
Please forgive me, Rainer.

And lastly,  seeing JACO PASTORIUS loop a  second of digitally delayed 
harmonics and then soloing over it
with Weather Report in the early 80's started me off on my own 
path.....how 
could I have forgotten him.


okay,  this will obviously keep morphing a bit, but here's the amended 
list 
again.
Let me have it if I blow anything else.
