funny that this subject pops up now,i just played a gig on saturday at a 
private party out in the forest, everything beautiful setup with 
tents,beer kegs,great food a refigerator,huge fireplace and a small stage 
for me to sing with my acoustic and my edp looper, but right at the 
beginning of the second set "pow" light out!everything was running on 
power generators and it took about 10 minutes to get it back runing.I had 
built a percussive loop and was singing the first verse as this happen but 
i just went on singing and people cheered cause they could still hear me 
and thats when i realized the beauty and power of an acoustic instrument!
