There nothing like seeing a person holding and trying a Chapman stick for the first time.

We were having a garage sale in June and some young dudes bought all my old Guitar Player magazines. When they mentioned they played guitar and bass, I showed them the stick.

Turns out the young fellow holding the stick (Ryan) was the son of a musician friend (Rob Reid).

Check out the excitement look on his face!

On June 11, 2017 I will be playing stick on the street corners.

I am using a Peavey Nano Zyphr with battery power.

Kind of a stripped down basic stick performance.

Hope to see you there.
