what does the rather Majestic Mr Keaggy use for his backwards loops? I 
thought he was just a JamMan user...?

...and you being a Keaggy fan Ric makes sense of you playing 'Let 
Everything Else Go' when you were warming up at the LA Loop
fest thingie!! It took me a few minutes to work out what tune it was and 
where I knew it from. Recently had 'Town to Town' on
in the car (whilst on a two month long trawl through old cassettes looking 
for lost gems) - some incredible playing and
writing on there...

Looking forward to hearing the album you were working on...
