Looping is everywhere

Om and In......Papa Dave

     I am hearing looping everywhere!!!  Recently back from Burning Man 
and 
looping was alive and well on the Playa at Black rock City.  I did a set 
in 
the Cafe and heard several loopers doing their thing.  I guy played cello 
and added and looped to his parts becoming an orchestra.  Another guy had 
a 
guitar with 3 necks and he was looping as well from each guitar neck.  I 
think we as loopers are on the verge of breaking out.  I show people all 
the 
time what I am up to and inspire others to try it out.
     I am performing with the Mystic Family Circus at the Maritime Hall in 
S.F. on Sat. the 29th of Sept.  I have a vest that I velcroved a Boss RC 
20 
on the inside.  I use a DD5 delay before the RC20 and another delay after 
it.  I run it all through a micro-mixer and into 2 mini marshall speakers 
attached to my hips.  Using a mic and I have everything running on 
batteries 
so I'm free to roam.  I get quite a cool reaction from people wondering 
how 
the heck I am able to make these sounds.  I wear a beautiful black 
sparkling 
robe with a hood over all the gear and engage the crowd with poems and 
jokes 
songs and inspirational stuff.  I play flute and shakers, drum, horns, and 
vocals, a battery operated tambora, and sound effects all running through 
the mic and the RC20 and delays and am having a ball tripping out all who 
cross my path.  I am also playing at the Earth Dance Festival in Santa 
Rosa 
on Oct.13th and 14th at an Indian Reservation.  I'll have an extensive 
looping rig using guitar synth, many loopers and I'll be collaborating 
with 
several different people and groups  as well as solo.  I am very inspired 
to 
share the "looping experience" with all who are interested.  I'm so busy I 
haven't even got the Repeater out of the box yet.

                           Loop on my friends, papadave

I came by but didn't see anything happening.  Next Year!!!
