  Rich and I discussed this before the show- and I felt strongly 
  that yes it 
would be expected there be some type of 
  looping but that there are no real 
guidelines or 
  quotas- some utilize looping overtly and obviously and others 
in a more subtle way- the piece we did involved creating a lot of 
  textures 
and spaces and didn't really sound like 
  looping in the sense that it may 
have been hard to 
  identify the looped phrase- I would hate to feel obligated 
in any way and I don't think anyone here expects that- 
  ** well, i'm with you on that . . . but, as gary mentioned, he 
  felt that there wasn't enough looping (or was unsure that there was 
  "non-truth" in advertising) on his last-minute gig yesterday - - or on my gig 
  those many moons ago. this precipitated my query.
