Hi gang,

A few semi-obscure famous loopers who have been missed so far in this 
listing:

Cuong Vu (Trumpet player with Pat Metheny)

Shawn Lane (the late guitarist who toured the world with Jonas Helborg)

Bill Nelson (former guitarist with BeeBop DeLuxe, among others)

Michael Brook (sometime guitarist with Eno and Lanois . . . and on his 
own recordings)

Mark Egan (another bassist who was looping back in the '80s)

Steve Lawson (another bassis who is continuing to make significant 
noise on the  UK side of the "pond").

Adrian Belew (fellow Crim of his venal majesty himself [Fripp] of 
course)

Jim Thomas (the guitarist with the Mermen)

Trey Gunn (Warr touch-guitar player and another former Crimsoid)

Brian Kenney Fresno (the one and only)

Craig Chaquico (apparently does solo acoustic shows with looping 
accompaniment)

Eivind Aarset (Scandinavian avant-techno-looping-jazz-noise guitarist 
with Nils Petter Molvær )

Chet Atkins (the late great picker even had a n album called "JamMan")

Less Paul (probably invented "looping" guitar as we know it back in the 
'50s and still alive and kickin')

Elliot Sharp (NYC avant-noise guitarist)

Gavin Bryars (contemporaty composer)

Sonny Sharrock (aparenty did a solo guitar album befor he dies that 
evidently utilized looping)

Patrick O'hearn (another bassist in the '80-'90s that did a solo album
