    PT…PT… PT…KAT-ch-ka…
    PT…PT… PT…KAT-ch-ka…
    It starts with a beat…
    Scratched, tapped or pounded so…
    Then captured…with a tap of a toe…
    The looper pedal sparks into action,
    Each fresh sound repeats…
    As the music mixture heats…
    BA-DOOM…DOOM…DOOM…DMMM-BA
    A fresh, thick bass groove is slapped down…
    And then…
    CHUMM…Chk-a…CHUMM…CHUMMM…
    Some hearty chords and filling tones
    adding some tasty meat to those bones…
    Mmmmmmm…Ooooooooh…
    A rich harmony…for smoothness…wow!
    Things are really cooking now!
    By the time the melody comes in, things are almost to a boil…
    Sizzling!
    Shakin’!
    And the crowd is already ready already
    To clap their hands and dance!
    It’s one thing to hear music played over canned, pre-recorded tracks.
    (Sort of like a microwave TV dinner…)
    It’s a whole other experience to watch,
    In REAL TIME…
    As Joseph E. Reed CREATES the background beat…
    The bass line,
    The chords,
    The harmonies,
