Yeah, big point actually that it is manually performed! I like the
sound you get from doing that on two loopers that doesn't quantize the
commands. Takes a good timing to do it right.  And it looks cool as
well. When sitting on a chair doing that rapid double footwork you
look like a human cannon ball ready to get fired right at the
audience. Love it! I had a similar "mental cartoon" experience from
watching Jeff Kaiser sitting on a chair, trumpet in mouth and legs
spread out to frenetically manipulate two expression pedals. While
Rick looks like an armed human missile Jeff looks like an angry attack
duck surfing right towards you from a busy stream. Michale Peters
should crank out a Flash Cartoon on that! ;-)) in poisonous green and
angry red colors with some nasty small details in black.
