Re: RC-50 video on summer NAMM



Heh heh...no doubt about it. The guy is a born marketer. In fact, I find 
that a lot of musicians have the skills and persona necessary to be in 
product marketing, or sales, especially the good looking ones (you have to 
be good looking to be in marketing). There is a charisma and quirkiness 
about some musicians that makes them adept at this.  First of all, a good 
music marketing person needs to have a "sliver tongue" and be able to 
believe in his own bullshit to such an extent that the customer can't 
possibly not buy into the value proposition of their product. Second, they 
need to be able to play their instrument.  Rico Looper, or whatever 
ridiculous title he has self-appointed himself, seems to have both of 
these 
skillsets.  That competency set is worth about $70+K a year for a fortune 
500 company in the US.....that's a lot of boxes of Snack Romin and 
Macaroni 
and Cheese, man. :)  He could be talking to customers and designing 
products 
rather than being Boss' errand boy of promotion.
