Here, here, Lance!!   Being one who probably 'gushes' a bit too much on 
L.D.
(let's just call it 'enthusiasm' for looping and music) I am totally
appreciative of David Torn's input on this list.  He has been generous to a
fault with me, personally, and with all who come here with his considerable
intelligence and experience and I have learned a great deal and been
inspired a lot by his presence.

I didn't even follow this thread until today (haven't had the time) and I
was very impressed by how many times d/t bent over backwards to give this
disgruntled and angry gentleman a way out of his vitriol.........one he
never took, unfortunately.  d/t tried his best, acquitted himself well and
now we can all move on.......

yours, Rick Walker (loop.pool)
