  well there are a couple of looping recordings... but none of them capture
10% of what happens in a good live show. the "acoustic sketches"album has
some looping as does "on the fly" ( although.. in my opinion neither are
great records.) if you want to hear some of his great playing check out
"beyond nature" for acoustic music (sans loops) or for electric "rock"
guitar playing i think the "blue" record is pretty cool and there is a
decent cover on there of badfinger's "baby blue" too...

 he is one person who i fear wil never make the great record that's in
him..but here are my favorites . some are somewhat sentimental choices
because i was a young zealous religious freak at the time and the 
occasional
clunkly lyric didn't bother me then and only amuses me now..


the master and the musician

 what a day

town to town

crimson and blue

sunday's child

beyond nature.



for what it;s worth... by the way i got to jam with glass harp this year!
quite a treat.


peace
