RE: backing solo performances

[ld thomson <heatshrink@hotmail.com>]

I've used a Roland MC 303 groove box for drums/sequences since Jan 98 when 
I 
trouble making drummer needed to be replaced...and its worked fine.  No 
one's ever complained about it.  Surprised by it perhaps.  Then I grew up 
in 
Toronto as a teenager who was amazed by NASH THE SLASH, electric violinist 
who's live solo performances were supported by a battery of old analog 
stuff, drum machines and Crumar Multiman bass pedals.  so it makes sense 
to 
me.  If what you do sucks it won't matter whether you have an beatbox or 
an 
orchestra.
