Re: Another electro-acoustic demonstration (in San Francisco)

Cool. Today went so well that they are inviting me to a "First Thursday" 
event here in Boise (where many businesses host musical performances all 
over town), again in front of City Hall.  Plus I was approached by an 
educator to do the same electro-acoustic demonstration for kids and music 
students at a public library. Wow, I didn't think I would end up educating 
folks on this style of music. There is a lot of interest in this out 
there. 
People are just amazed at what the computer can do to the sound of an 
instrument.
