Re: emmersive sound

Here's an idea I had a while ago, but never attempted.  It's on my 
list...

Here it goes:  Have a show where the stipulation is you have to bring an 
FM walkman of some type.  Boombox with headphones would be OK too.  
Anyway, get an FM transmitter (you can get low powered ones at Radio 
Shack and beef them up.  Don't tell the FCC I told you)  Pick an unused 
Fq and do an outdoor show totally sans amps/PA.

How about that for emersive?
