--Regarding rusted strings from playing in excessive heat and humidity: Coated strings do seem to help with this. I have to play an outdoor service in the sun every week, and they do last longer than uncoated strings. I've found I prefer Daddario EXPs to Elixer, but I haven't tried the new Nanoweb Elixers. (This is on acoustic guitar.) Even if you don't like them for regular playing, it might be worth it to have a set of EXPs or Elixers ready for situations like this. --Regarding the thread on getting this music out to the public: I'm not a looper yet (still thinking about the DL4) but I enjoy the list. And one big reason is that this is a list of non-mainstream musicians finding ways to create and perform music against the odds, and outside of the Business. It's encouraging to hear about the loop fests and other "non-standard" ways of getting the music out. Inspirational even. It's interesting that this recent discussion has corresponded with the time I am reading "I Hate The Man Who Runs This Bar!: The Survival Guide For REAL Musicians" by Eugene Chadbourne. It's a real-world look at having a musical career completely under the radar of mass consumption, and not even shooting for the Star Machine. I would really recommend it. Thanks for carrying on...and on...thanks for carrying on... Tim Helmen Debut CD "Room For Cream" available July 2001 info at http://TimHelmen.com tim@TimHelmen.com
