I've listened to this piece probably a dozen or more times. I like it. I also really like the title.
Nice work.

It only really struck me after his death that one of Emmett's real triumphs was building a community pretty much everywhere Sticks are played. And it was always the way, right from the start -- look at Free Hands, it's full of pictures of Stickists, giiving a glimpse of the community he was building.
The fact that many of the people in that book are still making music all these years later is pretty cool, and some of them, like Bob and Don, just continue expanding their pallet.

Re: The Stick is an Idea Machine
The Man was hands-on. (no pun intended) I can't think of any inventor that was more into building a concept, invention, and viable community than Emmett Chapman.

Re: The Stick is an Idea Machine
Two years on, a little bump for this video.
In this video there are timbral echoes of two of my favorite guitarists, Ralph Towner, whose work with the band Oregon was a major inspiration for me in my early years as a Stickist, and John Abercrombie, whose signature "dark" tone was a revelation...
