Steve Osburn (Oz) rocking it out with his poly-carbonate [make that graphite--thanks MichNS!] Stick, last night after Guitar/Songwriting class at Oz Music. An original creation of Steve's.

Just a couple of minutes of Oz rocking it out. Cheers!

Three of us Steves last night, although I was on NS/Stick and Steve B., (MichNS) was on electric guitar. (Stickist Steves, Thick as Thieves!)

Steve, what was the drummer's name, by the way?

Two Steves and a Mike and the drummer to be named later....

No, that's not a polycarb Oz plays, it's an older graphite. Funny how many of us in Michigan have graphites. Jim Todd, myself, and Oz all have graphite Grands, and John McBride has a 10-string.

Oz has had a few Polycarbs sell on consignment at his store. They are heavier than our Grand's are. There are many other Stick owners in our area that to my knowledge never attempted to learn how to play, and eventually have sold their Sticks through Oz.

There was another music store on the west side that re-sold Sticks many years back, but he quit doing that as it took him a year or more to sell them.

Forgot about this, there was once a fifth owner of a graphite Stick that played with us regularly years back - Akin Unver, when he used to live in Ann Arbor and taught at U of M. Like Oz, he also comes from a classical guitar background. He was always good with an E-Bow:

So there was a time that if you showed up at Oz's, you'd assume that Emmett only made Sticks out of graphite, unless Pete, Glenn, or Jeff showed up.

Here's the Riverside Arts Theater that Oz will have another repeat event at this June, same song with Ken Kozora on drums in the second song in this vid from last year:

I updated the post to show that it's not a poly-carb, but a graphite. Sorry about that confusion.

Thanks also for letting me know on Facebook that the song he's playing is called "Chunk of Funk." I'll add that to the YouTube posting.

And so many Michigan Stickists with the graphite Sticks! I didn't realize that there were so many. Thanks again, Steve!

That was fricking awesome, Steve! Both the solo acoustic guitar thing he did, and then "Chunk of Funk" in all of its glory. Thanks so much for posting this! It's nice to see Oz rocking it out--I've only seen him at Stick sessions and giving lessons, and haven't really heard him "perform" before.

Nice tune and nice writing on it, by the way. And a nice Chunk of Funk!

I think I have a tendency to forget that the stick should be spanked!

Thanks for the reminder Steve. :lol:
