Re: The Live Looping Community: myth or reality

And for some of us, it's nearly the only way of interacting with like 
minded
people.  For a lot of reasons I won't get into,  I don't interact with many
loopers in "the real world."  So being able to chat and read about looping
and with 'loopers' is absolutely a wonderful thing.
