Bernhard, I have to say, is having a banner month. He is a headliner for this years' Y2K5 Festival; he just produced the best live looping festival I've ever seen and he has a beautiful new debut live looping solo CD out. I will write a full review of this wonderful record as soon as I am able to breathe after Y2K5, but it's a goody. Suffice it to say that you should buy one from him while he is in America (and the shipping charges are low.............lol) A quick note to all Performing Artists: 1) Please go to the website site and see if there is any information that you can fill in or correct and e-mail me immediately so I can change it. It would be great to have current e-mails and URLs for your music for every artist. Just put the bold letters WEBSITE INFO: Y2K5 (YOUR NAME) in the subject header of our email to me and mail it to rickwalker@looppool.info . This way I can collate the information and update the website very quickly. Thanks a lot!!!! 2) I will be posting set orders of all the concerts within two weeks of today. The reason I will wait that long is because I have a couple of big acts that I am still waiting on final confirmation from, so I don't want to do all the work to plan it and then have to do it all over again. Thanks for bearing with me 3) In two weeks time I will write a very definitive set of instructions about what we'll all need to do in order to make such a garngantuan performance come off professionally )load in, performance and sound check information, et. al.) 4) Also, PLEASE DO NOT flood me with questions about the festival until you get that email. The amount of email I am sending and recieving between venues, transportation providers, accomodation providers, foreign artists is just completely overwhelming. LOL, the less stressed I am, the better the festival will be......................why? Because I"m a stress puppy for sure! Don't worry. Everything will be done in a way that benefits all and I won't forget anything, I promise. Thanks a lot!!!! Rick Walker
