SEEMS? I let my subscription lapse after they dropped Warren Sirota's column and turned it into a magazine about art direction... I resubscribed when the content seemed to improve and they offered a really cheap deal, figuring it was worth it just for the record reviews. But when it ran out again a few months back, I had a couple issues still unread. It's truly a shame that a major music information resource such as GP was ten years ago should become such a piece of crap. The good side of GP's decline, for me, was the realization that, since my interests were apparently so narrow that they no longer warranted coverage in a paper publication, I'd have to get Internet access. My very first Web search was for the keywords "MIDI guitar"-- I didn't _know_ there'd be a mailing list devoted to it, but I thought it pretty likely. Of course, that search turned up Paolo's Digital Guitar Digest... and that's where I read about Looper's Delight... and my need for paper publications has _greatly_ diminished. :-) -- John Pollock mailto:johnpollock@delphi.com http://people.delphi.com/johnpollock (Troubador Tech)
