Re: Re: Looper's Delight donation

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Dear Violet,  It's good to hear from you and so candidly.

We all can only imagine what you've been through in the past two years, 
Violet and have a lot
of empathy for you.

Please know that this is a community and we all loved and appreciated 
Kim and his contribution.
All you need to do is ask and there will be people here to help you with 
the site.

I think people really want the site itself to become more current and to 
reflect what is really going
on with this community.   I know people want it to be a resource for 
looping gigs, festivals and new
gear reviews.    It really needs to stay current and it's way too much 
for one person to do.

We're evolving as a community and we all desire Loopers Delight to 
evolve commensurately.
Please reach out to us for help.   The help is there, I am almost sure.

Be well and thanks for writing.

Rick Walker
