Not too sure what to say about this one, except thanks for all the amazing and ongoing support NSDesign. Ned makes amazing instruments, and I can't imagine playing anything else. Such an honour to be in such good company with such a great company!

The story I wrote for Design New England is back online on the rebranded Boston.com. It's a few years old, but still fun and the pictures are fantastic (can't take any credit for those).

Check it out here.

After two years, hundreds of hours of interviews, and, finally, a trip to Santa Rosa to dig through the archives, the next book is on to the final editing stages. I can’t tell you how excited and honoured I am to add Rob Turner’s and the EMG story to the bibliography.
 
I’ve put together a little teaser page here.
 
Watch for more details as we work through the publishing process. Many, many thanks to the artists, the Turners, and Rob for sharing their stories. Can’t wait to share it with everyone.

A great night with my Frontiers friends and the Flames

Many thanks to Drew and the Frontiers for the call to fill in the bass chair for the weekend. We started with a warmup at South Block and brought it home as the house band for the Flames vs. Oilers game, complete with after party shenanigans. Here are a few pics:

If for nothing else, I'm grateful to Facebook for keeping memories alive. Here's a link to an interview I did in 2014 with Dan Chapman. We talked about all things Chapman Stick, most notably his documentary in progress about his brother Emmett. Take a few minutes and check it out. I hope you enjoy.

Hiding away at the lake for the next few days and working on the new project. It's already exceeding my expectations and I'm almost to the point where I can share it with everyone.

​Tough not to be inspired with some quiet and that view...

A story about the stories

3/14/2021

I sure enjoyed my time at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. So many seeds planted. When Steinberger was released, I reached out to my old professor, Dr. George Johnson. His biography class led to StickMan, which led to Steinberger, which opened up even more doors. The TRU Alumni department got a hold of that story and did this one. It was great to catch up and go down memory lane.
