Dave Trenkel asked: "What a great story, Rick! I'm kind of a sucker for reading musician's memoirs, ever considered writing a book?" You know, it's funny you mention it. I'm not a very famous musician so I've always wondered whether any one would be interested in reading such a book, but I've also been ridiculously blessed to have played with many world class and acknowledged master musicians from around the planet and many of the luminaries of both the World Beat movement in the early 80's and the live looping movement (if one can call it a movement). I've also had some pretty interesting and unusual things happen to me in my life of music. What I've been doing lately (mostly because I've realized that it's very difficult to get either music or memoirs published) is I've started a blog at Tribe.net. I figured that at one point I might just take all those writings and put them together into a memoirs. I've also started posting portions of my Rhythm Intensive method at both the FrameDrummers at Yahoogroups and the Frame Drummers tribe at Tribe.net just so some of those ideas would get out into the world. I always imagined that Kim Flint would cringe if I posted those musings on the theory of rhythm here at Loopers Delight so I have shied away from publishing them here but if there is enough call for them and if Kim is amenable, I could post them here as Off Topic adjuncts to making music with looping. We'll see. Rick
