This remains me of the gig i played with Rick Walker in february; As we played in San Diego with Gary Rick was having problems with his looper so he just accompanied the loops i was creating without looping to much which was great.Strangely enough my EDP started acting up the following night in Mexico and i ended up doing the same thing, an entire show without me doing any loops, but i still had a blast playing to his loops! cheers Luis --- Per Boysen <per@boysen.se> wrote: > Hi, > > I've seen this interesting thread passing by my > inbox for a couple of > days now and finally though I should throw something > into the > discussion.
