Re: New CD Project - Looking for a Partner

["David Sackman" <fluid.logic@gmail.com>]

Hey Kris, what kind of a time frame are you looking at to get this
done?  I tried to do a band concept like this in the '80's, (Ornette
meets James Brown with a dash of Police) but the world was not
ready...  I have a funky little drum machine and a bunch of percussion
toys, drums, basses, and guitars to work with.  Not sure if it will be
au courant, but it would be funky.  My main problem is time due to
work, but have some vacation time coming up.  I'll have some technical
learning to do, but this idea is very motivating to climb the learning
curve.  BTW, I've listened to all the CD's we bought and you gave us
at Loopfest and enjoyed them.  Thanks again for the generous gift.  We
just need the box and booklet for the box set!
