Song Structure in Live Looping: 'Fire on the Bayou'

Ross Garren and John Schroeder - aka the Sheriffs of Schroedingham - recently invited me to do some performance videos with them. Our first one, "Fire on the Bayou", is linked above. THIS video is a detailed commentary on the looping techniques used throughout that performance, as well as some of the approaches we took towards arranging the tune.

Huge thanks to the Sheriffs for their support, camaraderie,
and the opportunity to play with them
