Thanks to Matt for hosting us.  We had a wonderful gig with surprise
appearances by Per Boysen (who was my official 'processor/looper" for the 
evening
and Ryusei Hattori who played a beautiful Daxaphone improvisation with 
Rainer
Straschill, Per and myself.

Krispen Hartung and Jeff Kasier had a beautiful opening set.   I was 
really 
impressed!
I really liked the synergy between these two wonderful musicians.   The 
music was really
out and challenging but at the same time, deeply musical and these guys 
were
really practising deep, deep listening.

I, myself,  only played instruments last night (mostly metal sound sources 
with a lot of
singing and my (gasp!) debut on purple anodized pocket trumpet.
I was so nervous doing it because Jeff Kaiser is a master trumpet player 
and 
I've been
playing for a good two months,  but Per did truly beautiful processing and 
looping
and Rainer was really laying down some beautiful atmospheric sounds as 
well.

Later we will find out if Kris Hartung M-Audio recorder got a good 
recording 
of the show.
I hope so because it was one of my favorite shows I've done in the last 
year 
or so.

On to the Loopers Delght Party tonight.

Bill and Scoots (Michael Klobuchar) went down last night while we were 
gone 
and set up
the entire festival.     I thought today would be the day from hell in 
terms 
of logistics
so they just saved a lot of work and worry.     Thanks a lot you guys!!!!!

We're on for the big festival tomorrow 
night........................yeah!!!!!
