Ain't that the truth. Much of what I hear in the "jam band" world is
pretty dismal stuff.

That is worth something.
I am a songwriter first an foremost. I use my loop devices for both
accompaniment and improvisation. I don't think everyone who uses
loops has to spend their life at the bleeding edge of looping
technology - it's okay for it to be a tool in service of their own
muse.
It's likely that my music isn't weird enough for some of you. I can
live with that. But I feel that I'm making good use of the tools.
