I had the pleasure of sharing the stage Friday night with Nels. We both played in the Vinny Golia Large Ensemble at the REDCAT Theater at the Disney Concert Hall.....Vinny wrote a kind of "double concerto" for Nels and Jeremy Drake (a fantastic young guitarist in LA.) They both did a lot of cool looping, Jeremy with a DL4 and Nels with that same lovely looper he's used for years...very creative guitars and electronics....with a 40 piece band as well....It will probably be released on NineWinds later this year.....worth checking out when it comes out. best, Jeff Jeff Kaiser http://www.jeffkaisermusic.com pfMENTUM.com • AngryVegan.com On Apr 1, 2006, at 3:20 PM, tEd ® kiLLiAn wrote: > Stan, > > Yeah. there used to be a Vietnamese guy in NYC who repaired them > too.
