Wait...I saw this video that had all these different bay area
musicians demoing their unique gear setups and inventions

that's almost as sarcastic as Michael Zelner's response.

That's actually a good idea, Matt, especially if you do it as a

things with their built-in laptop cam or cell phone and posted
to u-toob.  If you get it going, maybe you could get permission
to post (promotional) bits from 'Noisy People' as well.

Here's an example of a user channel:
