They listened raptly and gave him a big ovation afterwards. the music was good, and they liked it. My girlfriend said there was some confusion on the tori discussion lists about how the looping worked, but people there set it straight. It wasn't a big deal at all. People get technology in music. The younger they are the better they get it.
