Hello to all my listeners here on N1M! Thank you so much for all your support, comments and questions. I WILL answer any questions y’all may have in due time, but at the moment I am in the thick of a project that will allow me to perform concerts near you, U.S. Europe, wherever you are. I play alone In concert, so I use what’s called a “Looper”. That means I’m recording what I’m playing on guitar in front of you in real time to a wave form of the actual session drummer who played on the song and I make loops of up to 7 minutes long, then I put more loops on top of that with other guitars and bass. In other words, I can play “Man With A Gun” almost exactly as you hear it on “Continuance”. I can also, in real time, play orchestral works, which I do, as introductions to some of my songs. In order to do all this requires a lot of technology. Up to now, my stage set up has been close to 300 pounds in physical weight and size. All that has to go airfreight, ‘cause you ain’t gettin’ that on the same airplane you’re flying on, so I’m drastically downsizing to where everything will weigh less than 100 pounds, so I can play anywhere in the world. I have a confirmed tour in Texas starting Oct. 11th at Poor David’s Pub in Dallas and this new system absolutely must be up and running by then, so I beg your patience and I’ll answer all questions when I’m assured it all works perfectly, so until then, I wish you all... Health, Love and Clarity. Shawn Phillips
