Hi all, In a message dated 11/15/03 7:09:32 AM, dougcox@pdq.net writes: >Personally, I know a few loopers here in Houston, and they aren't members >of the mailing list. They do know about the LD site and list, but I'd classify >them in the "a) don't want to" category. I was wondering about this a bit too. I personally know some other "loopers" who's lives are just SO busy they don't want to join even ONE more thing. Just reading the posts I'm interested in consumes a lot of time for me. I can't imagine someone who actually reads every post (forget about responding to 'em). Some folks are just not "joiners." Some folks are too busy MAKING music to wanna stop and "talk shop" about it for any great length of time. Here's a thought . . . I am also aware of something else we have seen occasionally on this list before: Someone who had been totally unaware of other loopers and looping "history" suddenly discovers LD and upon joining tries to tell us all that they invented looping cuz they've been doing it for X years (longer than anyone THEY know of, heheh). It must be a shock to some of these folks to find that the concept is not original with them (nor with any of us here for that matter). They may be laboring away in their small isolated community somewhere with their looping being their one self-perceived claim to fame or "originality." It must take the wind out of their sails a bit to realize there is a bigger looping world out there and they are just one of many, many traveling the same path. I'd bet it's a lot more than some of them would be willing to admit. To join is to acknowledge these facts (ultimately). Human nature is funny that way. I'd bet more than a few of those folks are guitarists too. Heheh. tEd ® kiLLiAn http://www.mp3.com/tedkillian http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html
