• “Michael, I have been playing your NEW CD, it’s great, and it has given me a lot of relaxing moments. When I get home from work, I sit down with a glass of good wine and turn on your CD and fade away for a wail into my dream world of relaxation. Your music certainly relieves the stress of the day.”

• “I just want to say that The Chapman Stick is really, really cool. My class and I went to the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and my teacher (who is a bass player like me) and I walked past and spotted The Stick. We got lost in the music. I just want to say how cool it is. IT’S VERY COOL!

• “I wanted you to know I found you by accident this morning. While searching for photo borders, I found your letter of reference from the manager of Borders. Intrigued, I traced it back to your website. Having no experience with the Chapman Stick, I downloaded a track, then another, and another. I was sufficiently impressed to order Carnival and Steppin’ Out. The sound is beautiful, the melodies infectious, and the technical play incredible. Two-minute snippets made me an instant fan.”

• “O great Stick Master, I humbly bow before thee! Your CD is great! Such a pleasure to listen to your years of hard work on the instrument. Espaola is probably my favorite, but it’s hard to choose, it’s all so good. It’s my favorite original with NSEW a close second. I love the arrangement of Angel (I’m a Hendrix freak from way back, I saw him 4 times live and was lost when he left us). Song for my father has always been a favorite and you really made it shine, loved the “sax” at the end. I played it for a bunch of guys at work and they were very impressed and rightly so.”
  - Rick Cucuzza Prescott, AZ 10/6/04

• “My wife and I heard Joe Conti ( http://www.joeconti.com/ ) playing in Kona, Hawaii earlier this year, which was our first experience hearing the Chapman Stick. Needless to say we love the music, since we enjoy smooth jazz and new age music. I found your website via Google, and enjoyed listening to your music on CD Baby. I’m looking forward to obtaining your entire collection of music, including your new Christmas CD.”
