Newbie Alert!

["Karl Sangree" <KSangree@home.com>]

Last weekend, I was a participant in one of the most moving musical
experiences in my life.  I was at a didgeridoo gathering in Maryland and
heard a performance by Tom Heasley, from Palo Alto, CA.

He played his tuba through a series of equipment like the Lexicon MPX1, 
T.C.
Electronics D-TWO digital-delay and a Line 6 DL4.  I want to try something
like this with my digeridoos, and found the Looper’s Delight web site in my
search for info.  I want to do slow, meditative, type of looping.

I have two newbie questions that have, most likely, been discussed ad
infinitum/ad nauseam, on this forum, but I am so new I don’t know what to
search for, so hear goes;

1.      Is there a quintessential piece of entry-level looping equipment?
2.      Is there a book titled “So, You Want to Get Into Looping?” or 
something
like that.

I would appreciate any help you guys could give me.

Thanks,
Karl
