Agreed, Rick. I am finding that there is a separate breed of 
commercial/pop 
music loopers developing on the side, some of which are working in a 
vacuum. 
We need to know each other, our community, and our history...especially to 
prevent re-inventing the wheel, claiming to invent the wheel, or repeating 
past mistakes. Community is powerful.

What would be sad and unfortunate is if the world developed a "class" of 
loopers that gain enough popularity in the public eye that they forget 
their 
roots and feel they don't have to talk us anymore.  And in this light, I 
would like to see more famous loopers posting on this list, rather than 
the 
occasional "popping in".
