I'm amazed someone else knows who Donna the Buffalo is .... good job. Zydeco needs to happen more often. They hail from near my hometown ... so I grew up watching them make it. Also ... I think there is good value in skill for the sake of skill, and style for he sake of style ... whatever balance we each can find is good with me. And some of those jam bands are damn good ..phish of course ... but string cheese incident is another one worth checking out .. they do a lot of classical and jazz covers ... not to mention a lot of bluegrass (which I friggin love). Keller does a nice looped version of take five .... wish I could find a link for that. But .. yeah ... he's cheesy as hell, no doubt about that. Don't know about the "any multi-instrumentalist in the world could do that ..." comment, but hey. sorry you couldn't get more people bent out of shape .. guess were all just to easy going (damn musicians). Peace, love and hippies ..... hahaha Aaron >From: David Gans <david@trufun.com> >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: Re: Keller Williams / jam bands/ rc50 >Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:45:37 -0800 > >At 3:38 PM -0800 11/27/06, Richard Sales wrote: >>What counts is the music, David!
