Thanks, Rick! I'm always a little cautious about joining "improvisers" networks or "new music" groups, since much of what I do is pretty conventional. I use looping a lot in my performance, and I do create new music live in every show, but I also do a lot of straightforward Americana-type songs. I think of myself as a little too weird for the singer-songwriter scene, and a little too conventional (accessible?) for the improv world. I had a nasty and humiliating experience in Berkeley a few years ago when Henry Kaiser and John Oswald invited me to participate in a noise-type event. my guitar playing was way too pretty and conventional for the context, and I wound up feeling kinda stupid by the time it was over. -- David Gans - david@trufun.com or david@gdhour.com Truth and Fun, Inc., 484 Lake Park Ave. #102, Oakland CA 94610-2730 Blog: http://playback.trufun.com
