My First Loop Gig

["lol c" <testtubemicro@hotmail.com>]

Hi Guys,its nearly 5am in the uk right now but i just had to come on line 
and tell you about my first real live looping gig.
  I am a relative newbie to the loop scene,I only started about january 
(started by making riffs chain togeather on a crappy Zoom 707,just kind of 
went on from there).
anyways, in this time ive become kind of bordering on obsessed with the 
whole concept and have had bags of fun, and spent bags of money (well,for 
a 
poor student) making music on my own and in front of small  groups of 
mates.
  Although i think, my skills came along at about 8x the speed of when i 
was 
just doing regular guitar, i have been reluctant to take any gigs for fear 
of crashing and burning.

  That all changed tonight,I finally decided to do my first loop 
orientated 
gig. MAN!!Ive never been so nervous except for my first school play!!!all 
these new variables to think about,what if it goes wrong, what if i 
suddenly 
find i cant sing and loop at the same time, what if the RC-20s batterys 
run 
out berfore i do...............AAAARGH,hell.......but.......acctually, 
bliss,i loved every sweaty tense minute of it.

As it happened it all went absolutly great,i didnt screw up more then 
could 
be covered, the buzz from the croud was unbelivable (it was basically an 
acoustic night, so by the time i was a couple of minutes in heads where 
really lifting!!) and i cant remember ever coming off stage feeling more 
exhilerated!!

the icing on the cake was listening to all the people asking me and each 
other how/what i had been doing.

Anyways, im rambling, I basically just wanted to share a story and also 
thank all of you great guys and girls on list for the help,encouragement 
and 
advice you probably dont even know you gave me.

see you all soon
  Phill Wilson
