Six guys playing it kind of muddies it up though. The old power trio

The DX7 was just out and I saw it at the show for the first time. Bought one within the month. Quite an achievement for an amateur musician, LBYM guy. Still have it. Hardly ever play it, hard to find the time now that I'm retired. 
So many great versions of 'Pork Pie Hat', Joni, Jeff Beck, the list goes on...

I've got two chapman sticks. Since emmett lives pretty close by to me
i just stop by his house/workshop when i need a new set of strings.
He's a really cool guy and still going strong at 70+. I hope I'm as vital as he
is when i'm seventy.
My goal once i FIRE ( i hope some time next year ) is to get half as good
as greg howard is on the stick.. That should keep me busy for a while

Wow, that is pretty cool that you know him. He did seem like a very nice guy at the show. He made quite an impression on me, I still remember seeing him play that thing - very vividly.
Now, if I could just remember where I left my car keys......
Is there a specific CD/DVD you would recc? This one looks pretty interesting:
Soundboard TV with Emmett Chapman
DVD 1983 TV broadcast $15
I like the idea of being able to see him play while I listen, the Stick is a very visual thing with both hands moving up/down the frets - also gives me an excuse to get a little LCD TV to put in my listening room - the player is already DVD capable, just no video in that room.
My wife will be asking for suggestions for the Holidays for gifts for me, it's the least I could do....

Twin rivers of American Pop music are Africa and the Southern Appalachians. Here's my man Dwight Yoakam holding up his part.
This next one proves once and for all that white men can't dance.
