Acuradio is an app I use to listen to music I like. Since a couple of weeks I can hear a stick player. Easy to recognize the sound of it. And when I looked at the screen of my phone I always see the same name. Who do you think it is?

Greg Howard?
Bob Culbertson?
Earthgene?
Lee Vatip?
Michael Kollwitz?
Per Boysen?
Alain (myself)?
Brett Bottomly?

Give you the answer later..lol.

Only one accepted this (small) challenge and he is right...Good answer...

I first heard the Chapman Stick in Maui.
Michael was playing it, at the Banyan Tree park.
I bought some of his CDs. Later on, I bought a Stick.

A great and prolific player, Michael Kollwitz is also an award winning toastmaster!

I'm a taxi driver 3 days a week in the small city where I live and with this application (I know there is a lot of them) I like to tune on soft jazz or new-age style music. This time I was on a guitar channel and as soon as I heard this sound I knew it was a stick. Very nice ambiance in the taxi and people love it when I transport them. One day, a friend of mine, told me that Thelonius Monk was doing this job...even though when he became more popular. I can't say if it's true or not, I never read this on Monk. But I can everyone that is a job I like to do, meeting and talking with different people, helping them sometimes (blind, autist, etc) and still having time the rest of the week to play music.

Good day.

Michael has such a jolly and buoyant spirit. It's amazing what he's been able to achieve.
