I'm also aware that many of you guys are professional musicians - and a CD
like this is going to be of far more use to you than me. If there's space
I'm in, but I don't want to deprive people.  This is just a hobby for me.

Whilst I would tentatively agree with this, I think the tracks on such a CD
would need to be very carefully arranged, or it's going to sound like one
of these promotional hardware CDs ("Here's what a looper can do for
_you_!")  I think that the most important thing is that the CD be
_good_listening_, putting the coherent presentation of the music before
ideology.
