[sdiy] OT - awesome Chapman stick player

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

All,

A few years a go when I was going to the NAMM shows they would have these
little mini-concerts in the enterence area. Emit Chapman would give a few of
those. He can really play the stick. Everyone else that played didn't even
come close. He had a couple of those Ensoniq DP-4s (quad effect processors)
or whatevery they are. He would put loops in those and build things up to
where it was like a band playing. Mostly sort of jazzy stuff. It was always
a highlight of the NAMM show for me. Once though Bob Moog sponsered the
Kurstins and the gal that played the theremin was pretty good. That was
almost as good as listening to Chapman.

Good listening.
Jay S.
