Tom,
I just listened to clips from your site. Excellent work.
I envy Stick players. ;)
During my stint in LoC, we had two stick player: Sam Richardson and John
Jens. Sam was LoC’s (amazing) drummer,
but he is also a talented/experienced Stick player and gigged solo quite a bit
before LoC. John the bassist was
newer to the Stick, but he played it live on a couple songs. It’s such a cool instrument.
So you’re using the Repeater.
Do you normally use the EDP and Repeater together live? And which one is normally your main squeeze?
Too bad your upcoming shows aren’t in the Balto area; I’d really dig seeing
you in concert. 77 Times is
amazing; I’d love to see that one live.
Lance

Wish I lived closer. CGT is great! I
was guitarist for Land of Chocolate back in 2002 and we opened for CGT and The
Flower Kings at a show in Northern VA.

Just in case you've never heard of CGT or Tony Levin.... Paul Richards of Utah,
Bert Lams of Belgium and Hideyo Moriya of Japan met in 1987 while studying
guitar with King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp. They toured with Robert
as members of the League of Crafty Guitarists and the Robert Fripp String
Quintet and formed the CGT in 1991. Their shows feature incredible
original compositions as well as a dizzying array of covers, from Beethoven and
Bach to Queen, Surf Guitar and Spaghetti Westerns. For more on the Trio, visit
www.cgtrio.com
Tony Levin who will be playing with the Trio is easily the world's best known
Chapman Stick player and probably its most recorded bass player ever.
Best known for his work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, Tony has also
recorded and/or toured with John Lennon, Paul Simon, Ringo, Pink Floyd, Yes,
Sarah Mclachlan, David Bowie, Tracy Chapman, Cher, Natalie Cole, Paula Cole, Al
Dimeola, Dire Straits, Stevie Nicks, Liza Minelli, Buddy Rich, and James Taylor
(to name a few). www.tonylevin.com
If any of you make it out, do stop by and say hi. I'll likely be hanging out at
the merch table after my sets.
Thanks for reading!
