No need to apologize for your statements Evan (although someone else should). This has been a very interesting discussion & has given me some things to think about as I’m working with my gear & ART too. I appreciate all the intelligent follow-ups as well. As a side note, a few Wednesday’s ago I saw Pedro’s show at Chama & was really inspired by the stunning aesthetic of his music… Maybe the 3 of get can get together at some point & do some playing. I would love to speak w/ you guys off-group.
