Description This is a little trifle I threw together this afternoon to celebrate Barack's win. I spent the election filming in rural Texas at a roadhouse/juke joint in a primarily African American farming community near Navasota - the home of Mance Lipscomb. A little Texas swing rubbed off on me I guess.
This is another GB loop fest. I've been playing live a lot lately and when I sit down at the computer I get a little lazy - and besides - mixing stuff like this is a lot of fun and I can't play near this good. The picture is of The Blue Ridge Playboys.

Great image of Sophie -

Bluegrass Funk...
...Yep. Maybe that's it, Bud. I can't believe you glued this all together from a bunch of loops. Amazing. This is a lot of fun to listen to with many interesting things going on...My only negative crit: too short. I could easily last another minute or so and still be tapping my foot. How fun. You are one awfully creative guy, Bud.
Peace.
Paul

bud said 62 days ago
You're talented
I'm obsessive and crazy. Thanks Paul.

Skean said 62 days ago

bud said 62 days ago
Loops are macs way
of saying they love us. Howdy Kenta - nice of you to drop by.

thetiler said 62 days ago
cool funk
like the fun of this, lots of funk in the right places. Interesting combination. Almost like Brother Where Art Thought meets Miles Davis meets David Grisman.

This very interesting to hear.

WAY TO GO!!!!!

bud said 62 days ago
Interesting mix there
All faves. Saw a great documentary on Miles the other night on Ovation.

Rocha Malhada said 62 days ago
Fun stuff
Quite the blender - mixture here of instrumentation, and it works well

bud said 62 days ago
Thanks Harold
Glad you stopped by.

Among Loopers, you are The One
Nice construction. Love the lyrics (silent like the "P" in Victory! On one hand, loop-only music is lazy; on the other, it's a talent I wish I had the patience to do better myself.

Feel free to blog or send a note about your impressions of the Obama win on the community you were filming in, if you got out to find out. I am uncharacteristically optimistic about what "that one... The One" (!) can accomplish because IMHO after four decades as a voter I see in Obama the most intelligent mature and non-ideological thinker of my lifetime.

I had to get that out of my system!

bud said 62 days ago
Glad I gave you a place to express ourself
the forums are a bit of a mine field. I feel much the same way.

Vic Holman said 62 days ago
texas toast
Kevin, you did a cool job of arranging this. it swings in a funky bluegrass way. cool & uplifting on a foggy rainy morning.

bud said 62 days ago
Glad to lift the fog a little
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a kind comment.


LunaTrick said 62 days ago
Great combo...
electro-bluegrass! Love it!

bud said 61 days ago
Thanks for stopping by
just a bit of fun.

The Infinites said 61 days ago
Right up my street
You know I'm a sucker for this kind of mashed-up genre - country/bluegrass but funky clav going on takes it to different place. Loops or not, this tune is very effective and is a testament to your ability to be influenced by ANYTHING and turn it into something for a delighted audience.

Cheers, Kevin.

Jim

bud said 61 days ago
Very kind Jim
Glad you dropped by. Kind words from a master looper.

lavalamp said 61 days ago
Lazy Bud
No shame. This is great Bud. Love your loopy adventures, too.

Dave

bud said 61 days ago
Sometimes you feel like a loop
Thanks Dave.

TEXASFEEL said 61 days ago
Great Blend
I can see every one dancing around with glee. I'm happy for Obama's win as well. He has quite a mess to deal with when he gets in office. Thanks for sharing.

bud said 61 days ago
Thanks for dropping by
I still find it hard to believe at times.

lengold said 60 days ago
Great fun
I really enjoy playing about with loops too. This is great fun.
Cheers

Nice of you to drop by.

melting pot
A melting pot of victory loops.

It's all whoopee pies and orange crush.

Stompin feet and yee-haws back in barn, with long bearded, felted hat bottle puffers, savvy spoon players and laundry board scratchers all awaiting their turn at center stage.

It's a great time to be an American.

bud said 58 days ago
Thanks for joining in the fun
I'm trying to keep my buzz - but the bills keep coming in. I thought that was gonna stop.

guitapick said 57 days ago
Very cool...
...and a step away from your usual...great stuff...nice Texas picture...

bud said 53 days ago
Thanks Bob -
just some loopy fun with a twang.

peacepiano said 56 days ago

Thanks Bill

Thanks

Another Round
...of cold ones from the big aluminum tub full of ice! Ripping good groove going here;it's entirely too easy to forget this is loops bouncing off each other and not a group of wildly-different musicians from several different tour busses who all got stuck in a tiny town overnight and decided to have an impromptu jam in the lobby.

I learn fascinating stuff from you all the time, and your influence is considerable - creativity just explodes out of you in all directions like a torn burlap bag full of cats. I can't remember the last time I put together a pure loops-only tune........... it might be a hoot, tho' I doubt it would sound as raucous as this! Maybe it's because you were in Texas? Maybe it's because, after the election morning dawned, the nation felt it could actually breathe again?

A riot of a tune, served with cold beer and plenty of room to dance.

bud said 53 days ago
Too kind Rik
Go ahead and get all loopy with yourself.

paddler said 43 days ago
