Timothy's last missive and an invitation to the whole LOOPERS DELIGHT COMMUNITY

["Rick Walker/Loop.pooL" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Timothy asked me to post this for him as he is unsubscribing.

I find myself in the funny position of being friends with both Timothy and
Mark Sottilaro.
Personally, I was a little bummed out by both of their attitudes towards
each other (and other people )
here but that is because I desire unity and peace in our community.

I promised Timothy I would post this for him after I tried in vain to
dissuade him from unsubscribing
so I am doing it.    I don't endorse what he says and am sad that he is
leaving but so be it.

So here's my plea:

Let's make a vow to moderate ourselves.

Let's take the high road and cease and desist from name calling from now on
in Loopers Delight.

Kim will never moderate this list nor tolerate a moderator so we are just
going to have to act like the
community that we all wish to live in:   a community based on mutual
respect.

I know people love to think of themselves as provacateurs in here at times,
but I would only ask
that you think about how hurtful a thing might be taken.

To have controversy and disagreement is one thing.    To callously trash
someone is incredibly narcissitic
in my opinion......................it is both unnecessary and uncalled for
in a mutually repectful community.

I love this community.  I wish to preserve it.   Let's all work together to
keep the vibe on the up and up.

There, I've said my two cents.............................LOL

*************************************************************

Now, if it's your thing and you can stand festival length sets of 
incredibly
creative and diverse artists from this community,
wing your way to Santa Cruz, California this weekend................we're
going to burn it up for three straight days beginning
Friday night at the Cayuga Vault.   It's going to be great.............I 
can
feel it already.

I'm also extremely excited to say that it looks like the wonderful looping
musician  James Sidlo (of Honey Barbara fame)
is considering flying in from San Antonio, Texas at the last minute to
perform on Sunday.   What a thrill for me personally,
I really dig Honey Barbara's intelligent avante pop/loopy sensibity:   One
of my top five desert island discs from this
live looping community.............come check him out if he decides if he
can swing the trip.

yours,  Rick Walker   (ps  www.looppool.com for revised Y2K3 Loopfest
scheduling as of tomorrow evening (wednesday)
