This installment of the Tap In Time Podcast is a bit longer than usual, but given the span of topical content, we think you’ll understand why. We head to the Qu'Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan, Canada, to catch up with Chapman Stick recording artist and wood worker extraordinaire Brian Baggett, so there’s talk of music, Canada, wood working, and an exciting new product introduction for Brian’s Stickist clientele! As usual, we find a number of bunny trails to navigate, such as geographic population density, humidity, feline work partners, second grade art project appreciation, and more…so come along and stay awhile!

They're not actual travel agents, but they do help us get away. :-) Claire and Victor bring Glenn Poorman and Jim Meyer, organizers of the Interlochen and Stick Camp Canada events, into the virtual studio. After getting things rolling with a retrospective on last summer’s events, we then bunny-trail through a plethora of topics such as looping, composition, YouTube videos, and taking a Stick into a live band context. Along the way: accidentally diagnosing a broken piece of gear, the joy and angst of using video to learn a Stick piece, one way to fill in the audience at event performances, and more!

Musical selections heard in this episode are Glenn’s “A Thousand Words” from his YouTube/scored works collection, and Jim’s “Georgia Strait” from his CD “Arbutus and Jade”.
