Re: Modern Soundscaping: Fripp.

["David Kirkdorffer" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

If you use a volume pedal and a delay and loop what you create with that
then the chances are that someone will approach you after a show and talk 
to
you about Fripp. At which point you can tell him, "Yes, I've heard of 
Fripp.
But from what I understand he's very different from me.  He uses his left
foot on the volume pedal, whereas I -- and I'm sure you noticed this
tonight -- I use my RIGHT foot on the volume pedal."
