<p>"I was walking around when all of a sudden I heard music playing, and I was curious as to where it was coming from. I searched for a few minutes before stumbling upon Mark and Matt playing for a small audience of about six people. They were playing, what I later found out to be called, Chapman Sticks. They were setup under a tent to get out of the sun, and they had some CD’s for sale on the table in front of them. I took a few photos, continued to listen to them perform, and then as soon as they took a break I approached Mark. I asked him to tell me about the instrument he was playing. He said ..."</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Experience Long Island 2009 event had a host of things going on including dancers and a ton of musicians, including Long Beach guitarist Steve Adelson, a Chapman Stick player, along with pianist singer-songwriter Eden White, and a local group called the Suck It Easy Band.</p>
<p>Adelson, no stranger to the touchstyle scene, has written several books, made CDs, and teaches at various Chapman Stick seminars around the country. He's beginning to resemble Tony Levin, but he's not as slim.</p>

<p>Jordan, famous for his two-handed tapping technique, developed his method as a teenager in the 1970s and uses the technique to play simultaneous melody, chords and bass lines. He's played in St. Louis many times before, notably at Mississippi Nights and Finale Music and Dining.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For everyone attending the FredTap concert this year, some of you may have the songbook, and Greg Howard's song from that songbook is shown in this video:</p>

<p>Greg Howard, also known as the Ambassador of Good Willy for the Stick Enterprises Inc and chief PR guy, is playing an introduction in front of the actual song. The introduction is the long fast ostinato in the beginning. The actual song is much more slow. He says he's made some wrong notes, but it sounds pretty good to me.</p>
<p>Nice work, Greg Howard, on your two-handed guitar tapping!</p>

<p>Jon used the audio portion of a video of himself talking and processed the audio into some fascinating drones. Sten then performed with a minimalist approach audio-wise, but many many pedals.</p>
<p>Sten used the Chapman Stick, 2 E-Bows, loop pedals, Moog delays, MuRF and bass MuRF, and ring modulator.</p>
