Re: stretching words

   listen to the end of Naked Blues on my website.  I do this live with 
the 
EDP with a guitar loop...

http://home.earthlink.net/~cara-quinn

It's in the music section...  Obviously!  :)

                           -And Andre LaFosse has many EDP examples of 
this...

   I'm sure there are others as well, but (pardon the expression) :)  I've 
been out of the loop for a bit in regard to this!  lol!...

Smiles,

Cara  :)
