Re: why do we loop?

I loop as a form of meditation, although that sounds so pretentious that I 
now 
regret writing it! Well you know, it is calming, centering, playful. It is 
just what I do. 

I have a day gig that keeps me pretty busy, but other than short periods 
of my 
life, performing was not on my list of needs or wants.

It's been a while since I was active in the looping community, but a new 
Microsoft-free PC has got me reconnected to the list, and I'm planning on 
being in Santa Cruz on Saturday too.
