One example is Robin Scott's FAMOUS LAST WORDS album. (Robin Scott--aka M.) There is one song on this album called "Dance On The Ruins," but a quick check of the credits revealed no mention of The Stick, despite its unmistakable presence on the track. However, a second inspection of the back cover did disclose that a certian T. Levin played bass on the album (also Thomas Dolby on keyboards.) >(The reason I'm asking is two-fold: I want to prove that the efforts >of Stanley Jordan is by no means unique (see my reply to an earlier >praise of him in net.music) and also because I myself play The Stick >and I would like to see and hear how some musicians use it. >Many thanks in advance... Actually, I read somewhere in an interview with Mr. Chapman that he got the idea for the stick from Jimi Hendrix, who used to occasionlly play by hammering the strings. >"Arguments, agreements, advice, answers, articulate announcements; > It's only Talk." -- Adrain Belew "Talk, it's only talk/Babble, burble..........and other words that begin with a "B." -Adrian Belew from ELEPHANT WALK (a bootleg)
