Re: Livelooping with a band..amazing!



Marty DiBergi: Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a 
child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?

Derek Smalls: No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to 
a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the 
moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you 
know.

Marty DiBergi: So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on 
stage?

Derek Smalls: Yeah.

That just strikes me as an incredibly odd thing to say about music and
the musicians playing it.  Put the music in a museum?  I didn't know
this stuff had a sell by date (some recording techniques, sure).  I
guess in that case most blues, jazz, classical and so on should be put
away to leave room for the fresh music of today.

My appreciation of music is always changing, what sounds boring one
day can inspire me the next.  What I loved yesterday can seem dull and
lifeless a few days later, only to come back full on the next year.

Anyhow, that just seemed like an odd perspective to me.

The worst part of that show to me is the editing (hey let's try to
make it as frenetic as possible).
