I think the Stick's usefulness in the music realm lies in its uniqueness, and that is due to its relative obscurity. I think it should be that way. If everyone played a Stick, would it be as cool? No. I certainly wouldn't buy a crappy instrument just because there are a thousand cheap ones at the mu...

This is true, Ray, but there is another reason why there are so few alternatives. A lot has been done to suppress alternatives over the years. Everything from lawsuits to the daily dissing of products, concepts, and events by people paid to do so. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. But I m...

Every time I hear this argument, I am reminded of how I got my first Stick. It was 1985. I found a used one in a music store for $600. I was a poor college student, but I really wanted to get it so I found a way to come up with the money (I borrowed it). At the time there were less than half as man...

OK. I just watched several videos of Bob Culbertson playing one. I don't really know why Emmett decided not to make this instrument a part of his line.

Hey Greg,

Word up on the "Cloud About Mercury" thing. Used to love that CD. This is a good thread. I also loved Levin's contribution to Peter Gabriel's compilation of world music. Can't remember the name. It was him on just one song. Can anyone help me out?
