Re: Looper flutist?

I can confirm this!  I saw Tim Weisberg at Wake Forest Univ. in 1976 on a 
tour for "Twin Sons of Different Mothers", done with Dan Fogelberg.  In 
the 
show Tim did a number of pieces using some sort of tape loop: the first I 
remember with the spinning and dancing, the second sounded so much like 
Bach 
it was incredible.  Wonderful layering, and EXCELLENT timing on Tim's part 
with the looping.
