You know, when Charlie Parker played in Washington DC, I heard he played a plastic sax.  Apparently he'd hocked his good one for heroin!  

I think this is all very fascinating.  I think what my friend was saying was that saxes were MADE differently in the old days with lots of hands on working of the horn.  So each horn could have a character of its own based on the individual building it which made for inconsistent instruments with some being amazing and some being... arf!

So far it's a good new year and I got a wicked new axe for Christmas - a Husqvarna 365 chain saw with a 24" bar.  How is this relevant to looping?  Well... it IS a LOOP!   And it's LOUD!  50+ trees down in my woods from the wind.  

I'M STILL ON TOPIC... wood... winds... two stroke looper.  

And, Per, it's from Sweden!!!
