That wasn't my original assertation.  It was that only a small percent  
of people enjoy instrumental music and the subset of those people who  
enjoy  improv is even smaller and those who enjoy looped improv is  
even tinier and my guess is they'er mostly made up of musicians. Maybe  
the problem is that not enough people are musicians.
