I really don't know any more than that about the "Paulverizer" except that I've heard it referred to before in a couple of instances. I have a radio transcript, probably from the 40's, where an announcer introduces "Les Paul and his Les Paulverizer". I have been told that there is a story on this topic in the August '94 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine. Also, I have this cryptic clip from a recent magazine article: "Les still uses a Gibson Les Paul guitar, although it is a highly modified one with a microphone built into it, and he runs it through a strange electronic device he calls the "Paulverizer," which enables him to get his trademark multiple guitar sound live." I have a feeling that maybe the Paulverizer is more of a process or concept than an actual, specific device (plus it has a catchy name that is easy for magazine reporters to remember), but I'll find a copy of that magazine and report back.

Spiritually, >the former is the ideal, monetarily, the latter is a necessity.-Paul Very well said. Thank you. A couple of things might be kept in mind in addition. All thru musical history there have indeed been "artists" who have stayed true to their vision and money came their way irregardless of their relationship to its pursuit. As to "making a living" (if reduced to simply feeding your face and keeping a healthy body, spirit, and mind), I wonder if being an "entertainer" is indeed such a necessity. Some may indeed find such a position an unnatainable luxury due to family, equipment needs,illness, etc. Yet there are those who have made this circumstance a reality thru dedication, sacrifice, and frugality. One of these stations in life is neither "better" or "worse" than the other, yet both should be acknowledged as valid approaches to musical endeavor. Secondly I myself find that any "ideals", whether we consciously strive towards them or merely acknowledge them in intellectual discussion, tend to actually take us further away from that which we think we're propelling ourselves towards. Be it that particularly scathing/soothing loop we'd really like to emerge from somewhere within each night,or even the urge to get across, in a clear concise manner, our individual conceptions of our musical aspirations on this very list. If with this note I've failed at the latter, perhaps it will leave more tinder to fuel the fires of the former tonite! :-) Peace, B.P. P.S. Though I dread the topic like no other former academe, I spose the field is now open to the ol' "what is an "artist"?" shpiels. I should note quickly that IMHO,altho the discussion is an interesting and perhaps an important one, the dichotomy between artist and entertainer takes up an awful lot of musical space in so many folks I've encountered. Let's call ourselves and others whatever we may choose, but the main thing is to make more music and encourage others to do the same. The world as it is can use all we can dish out, in whatever form. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 20:49:32 -0500 From: musfri@umich.edu (david friday) To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com Subject: Re: Musicianship, live technique, etc...

Message-ID: It's interesting to contrast these views as they relate to music and how they relate to painting or drawing. I think if you brought up the subject of audience's importance to most painters they would give you a long questioning look, right after they finished laughing. Potential audience receptivity is a problem for commercial artists, not "fine" artists. I'm pretty much on the fence, myself. I figure if I don't like what I'm doing, nobody else will, either (although I've been proven wrong on that before..). -Tom Attix _____________________________ toma@microsoft.com _____________________________ Software Test Engineer Microsoft Corporation -----Original Message----- From: musfri@umich.edu [SMTP:musfri@umich.edu] Sent: Monday, February 24, 1997 17:47 To: Tom Attix Subject: Re: Musicianship, live technique, etc... you make an excellent point, however there has to be a balance between the two we play music because we love it.....we are selfish in that regard because that which comes from our mouths, fingers, minds..we hopefully hold dear and regard as being our own! but we must realize that this disipline is not just for ourselves, there are those who do not have the disipline or interest in making the music, however they whole heartedly wish to share our experience so that they can more deeply explore thier own experiences.

Michael wrote: >Sometimes I worry that too many musicians are trying to be artists, too few >trying to be entertainers. Hmmm. Interesting thread. The artist/entertainer line is very fine. (not unlike the line between "clever and stupid"!!!) I'm reminded of the Torn/Trilok Gurtu show at the Bottom Line in New York a coupla years ago. Torn opened with his "pretty loud guitar" set: artsitically very cool. As for entertainment value, I suspect much of the crowd was kinda confused. Then Trilok's band came out and put on a very tight, well executed thoroughly "choreographed" set. The crowd responded quite enthusiastically. Especially to the vocal drumming by the entire band. I must admit I got a good chuckle out of it, and was really taken with how exceptional the chops level was. However: For the second show (two shows that night), I watched Torn's set, and could only sit through two tunes before I was compelled to go backstage and sit w/DT during Trilok's set. And BTW, I really like much of Trilok's music. It was the "entertainment" I couldn't accept. I simply wanted to hear the music and the musicians, and the rest got in my way. So, Dr. Mike: I'm guilty as charged. I guess we're now big-time enemies!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 14:08:00 -0500 From: "Hogan, Greg" To: Loopers-Delight Subject: RE: alternate footpedals for JamMonster?

Will this work? Do I need the normally open kind or the normally closed?" I do not think the sustain pedals will work as well as the momentary switch because you have many increments of open and only one increment of closed. I suspect that the switch will respond in a faster manner. The switches are normally open. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything that I can do for you.
