yep, interesting thread! i'm 30-something, married for 10 years now, have dos chicas pequeñas muy hermosas (2 and 4) and now have a 'normal' job, tho' the jury is out on how long i'll last :-) i guess up until the job, i was a semi-professional musician. meaning i got paid pretty well to gig and record, more than usually as a bassist supporting a singer-songwriter of some sort. i got into this looping thing after playing in band called monk (hence the ric hordinski connection) back east. so now i loop at home and also a bit with the trio i play with here in la. i've recorded a bunch of looping bits and pieces in my little home studio and am working with using acid to make something of the mess. since i've yet to do a solo looping gig, i'm anxious for the first la loop feste next week to see steve, ric, and andre tear it up :-) anyway, i really have enjoyed and learned alot from this list. thanks to kim et al! tony On Sun, 24 Jun 2001 21:27:40 -0600 Goddess <thefates@earthlink.net> writes: > Jehn, no, don't worry about this thread!
