Re: electricity question

Good question, Michael!

Twice in the last two weeks I lost all electrical power, the first time for
two full days due to Hurricane Floyd, the second time for 6 hours due to
collapsed trees bringing down electric lines following a storm.

So I reverted to good old-fashioned acoustic music, practicing sitar and
surbahar by candlelight, something I quickly got accustomed to while
studying in India where electrical power is always quirky and never 
entirely
dependable.  (Especially when you want to record your lessons :-} )

It was no problem for the short term, but I wonder about total (i.e.,
irreversible) loss of electricity.  Since all my instruments are acoustic 
it
would present no major problem as far as continuing to play and perform.
But I'd sure miss looping and multiple overdub recording, as well as
listening to all the recorded music I've managed to accumulate over the
years . . .
