RE: looping as a profession

["ARTHUR LEE MUSIC" <arthurlee@arthurleemusic.com>]

Well I just got back from my first of four shows this week. I loop
extensively in my live shows. I am grateful to be able to play music for
a living. Looping is actually what's made things even more abundant for
me as a working musician. I'm going on a three week tour of Hawaii and
the South Pacific in March for AFE and that is due to my one-man
afrograss folk rock ensemble via the EDP.
After years playing lead guitar and singing in jambands it works quite
well being a 
Virtual one-man jamband. Technology is a beautiful thing.

My belief is that anybody who can make a living doing what they love are
truly blessed.

While I do obviously do a lot of looping, I wouldn't class my profession
as
being a looper... a musician who uses looping, yes, but I'm no more a
looper
than I am an amplified musician or a processed musician, in that
sense...

Still, I do make my living from music, and do a lot of looping, so make
of
that what you will...

BTW, it's nice to be home, and resubbed to the list - thanks to all of
you
who came out to see the various gigs on the tour, especially Kim and
Scott
Drengsen who both came to at least two...

see y'all soon,
