OK, so history may very well repeat itself, but that's about the only
connection between Reagan-era politics and looping that I can see. (No
"memory" comments, please...)

I just finished reading Neil Sorrell's excellent "A Guide to the Gamelan",
and found the parts about cyclical patterns and relative tempi relevant to
looping.

Also, while "Stompbox" by Art Thompson is certainly informative, I think I
enjoyed it more for its nostalgic appeal. Lots of photos to stimulate yer
gear-lust.

"John Coltrane", a biography by Bill Cole is very good.

Is there anyone on the list who DOESN'T read the Musician's Fiend catalog?
(Or your regional equivalent?)

ps: I can't believe nobody's mentioned "The Lorax"!
