Randy Thanks, I'm working on that next piece or two right now. I'll be playing some of them live for a huge, for me, audience of 125 this Friday near you in Ohio. Yikes! I will not be too nervous. I will not be too nervous. I will not be too nervous. I will not be too nervous. I will not be too nervous. I will not be too nervous.-Eric

I definitely take encouragement form your experience and the statement of how amazing and sometimes challenging, playing the Stick can be.
You're reminding me of how accepting and encouraging the whole Stick community is. The root of all that is of course Emmett, Yuta and all the amazing SE folk. That has branched out into the world to create a mantle of positivity, encouragement, cutting edge creativity and a feeling of personal connection with Emmett and the whole global family.
I have to remember sometimes that just advancing and as you say believing that I can do it, is good medicine and a very positive mental posture to have .
After my personal thoughts it's back to you and a Big Congrats on your continued Sticky success. Thanks. You have always been very encouraging. You even made me a video last year explaining some rhythms I was struggling with. I showed it to my students as an example of remotely getting help. Yes, the nice community starts with Emmett and Yuta. I hope to meet her some day. Emmett was exactly what I expected. -Eric

It seems I will be forced to listen to the great music of those who have gone before...and make more posts to my gear thread. Ah, I don't know what was harder, waiting for a Stick or my daughters. They took about the same length of time to be born. Sticks have fewer diapers, though. -Eric

Like you, I'm just an old duffer enjoying composing (limited at present) music on my Stick - I certainly have no aspirations towards making money from this wonderful instrument, I just want to enjoy it. My SG-12 should be with me soon now, I'm already getting a few ideas that will suit it more, maybe one day I too will post something on the showcase.
All the best,
-Marc- Thanks and congrats on the SG12, the best Stick! (fightin' words!) -Eric
