No way you could be aware but it so happens he's been on my ToDo list since last weekend - he was mentioned during the weekly Saturday "Bob's Zoom Call".

Thanks the reinforcement for David Blameble & for the other suggestions too.

Now 300 players.
Now 69 bands.

Checking after listening to the newly issued Brian Bagget episode of Tap in Time revealed to me that while I had Gary Muller as a player, I didn't have Ten Hands as a band. Now corrected.

Added Ten Hands

Now 70 bands.

David, something just occurred to me.
You have over 10 million views for this particular topic.

If this was in the form of a YouTube video,
you could be a very wealthy person?

No idea how that happened! Possibly a data issue?

Hard to see how it could be 'real people'?

Added Tommy Stanton

Tommy was a new name to me when he was mentioned by Brian in the the newly issued Brian Bagget episode of Tap in Time. After the podcast I did a search & found Tommy. He seems to be mainly a banjo player, his youtube channel has no Stick I could spot (so not listed), but his own website has a couple of Stick related Blog entries, so I used those.

Brian might be interested to know that the second of those Blog entries is about the Vancouver Stick Retreat he was talking about and that the page includes a group picture with him in it.

Now 301 players.

Hmm... data issue?

You are right, I doubt if 10 million people did this.
It would be fun to track how many views per day.
