> Recently we were thinking about attempting to play live, but when we > thought of it, we couldnt help laugh about thinking of us on stage with > a computer, me singing, and him playing guitar. i should tell you of my older band -- THE TEEN GENOCIDE (i still shiver at the thought of calling a band that, but it fitted the music somehow). our live setup was essentially that, computer & singer/guitarist, & it worked. the only 'equipment' we had was a cactus & a bunch of christmas lights on the computer. fred, who was manning the puter (he's now 'oeuf korreckt', check his tunes on http://www.notype.com, thanks for the plug) was basically doing nothing but pushing 'play' to start the tune, but he looked _so_ into it (& even pretended to push random keys) that nobody knew he wasn't doing a single thing. overall everybody liked the setup. so i say go laptop. -- david
