RE: Turn All That S**t Off

yes...it's one step at a time. I have done some looping stuff at the 
equivalent of a biker bar....and results were a bit mixed. But if only 40% 
of the audience there opened their minds to new and abstract ways of 
hearing 
and viewing things, then I consider it a success.
Also I did a little looping bass solo when I played in a country band at a 
line-dancin' bar in Bakersfield (how's that for stereotype)....and was not 
recieved well at all!!!
