improv with others

[Nemoguitt@aol.com]

<PRE>yesterday, i had the chance to play with an old buddy (guitar/bass 
player) 
and his friend, an excellent drummer.....i had a really cut down set-up: 
my 
guitar >digi. space station>boomerang>fender "champ" (one very easy 
carry).....what a total gas we had.....all of our talk of improv went 
through 
my head while we played, it was full speed ahead and chords be dammed, not 
my 
usual schtick!.....anyway, i was the only looper and did i have fun.....no 
problems with the drummer playing with my loops, in fact i asked Ty if he 
minded playing over my loops and he said he dug it because he could kick 
back 
and play over the beat that i created.....nickola (guitar) loved the whole 
other groups of voices that i brought to the mix, keep in mind he plays 
straight into a boogie amp sans fx totally so even with my small set-up i 
could do some real skankin.....at one point i reversed my set up and put 
the 
space station after the rang, i have always had it prior, goodness! try 
this 
if you havent.....we have a little over 5 hrs of cassette made, the whole 
jam, these guys record absolutly everything.....i think we freaked 
ourselves 
out.....there was an "energy" present that i seldom get to by 
myself.....this 
project may turn into a resurrection of  THE BUSH 
PUPPETS.....ahhh.....michael
