Glen from Platinum sent me a very rare email. In it, he shared a link to our local Craigslist which was a request for a local Chapman Stick player. Now that is something that you just don't see in print very often. I was compelled to reply to this post. I have since found out the ad placer is a guitarist who knows a drummer that I thought I knew. I'm not great with names, but I remember a gig with what I have to believe was almost a one-off band that imploded a bit for no apparent reason named Mofobia. Mofobia! What a great name! It sounds funky, doesn't it? Our gig years ago in Buckhead is still a Google request away in cyberworld here. It was with Brian Molin on guitar and several blokes who I haven't spoken with or heard of since. I had to shed on a bunch of their tunes, namely some cool Meters and Funkadelic stuff. Well, anyways, one of the guys was a Zendrum founder. I now see that the guy form Mofobia was Kim, but that my contact for this new band is mentioning David Haney, the other co-founder. That may be for the best. At any rate, I thought this might be worth mentioning. I have almost zero free time for a new project, but... it would be nice to have something pushing me along to work on the Stick. I don't see using it much unless I'm prompted. I am trying to bring it out to some weddings and such, but I am the bass player on those things and there is a certain responsibility that keeps me from really letting loose on the true Freehands technique - that and a rather apparent lack of chops!
