Here we go Loopty Lou

Darling daughter Ingrid just got an arts council grant to spend a month figuring out how to incorporate a looping effects pedal into her vocal/mandolin/accordion traveling road show.

She is up at her grandparents cabin in Northern Sask at Christopher lake.

She is planning an eastern tour this spring to Ontario and Quebec and got Via rail sponsorship for the tour. Free 15 day rail pass for her and her partner as they go from gig to gig.

Talk about the great Canadian cultural meme: country connected by a song, a railroad, a dream.

I attached this video of Phil Keaggy using a looping outfit of some kind. Technically brilliant and the guy is smiling the while. I love it and passed it on to Ingie.
