Jethro Tull - One Brown Mouse (Rob Martino, Chapman Stick)

One of my all time favorite songs, been working on this Stick arrangement a while.

In an effort to get more videos up I'm recording only 2 or 3 takes and using the most useable parts rather than spending hours obsessing over every detail and dozens of takes (and no matter what it's never perfect)... hope the quality doesn't suffer too much!

Rob, I must say that you have been making quite a few ripples with the aspiring musicians who wish to learn the Chapman Stick. You are very talented and it must have taken a lot of time and dedication to to achieve your level playing. Kudos to you for the inspiration you provide to your viewers. You have also chosen to cover an artist who also inspires many. Keep up the good work!! I look forward to seeing many good things coming from you. Have you done only covers, or do you do some originals

@Webendowed Thanks very much for the kind words, I have released an album of original material called One Cloud, you can hear it at my website and I have videos of some of the material here on YouTube.

nice sound and tune..... how much does a chapman stick cost??? how can i own one??? i want to order one ...i'm from greece

[rpmartino]

Thanks... look for the Stick Enterprises website, they ship all over the world and have prices on the website. I don't know of any Stick representatives in Greece, the closest I can think of is Virna Splendore in Italy.

I do not hold myself easily impressed by musicians, and tend to determine my favorites more by the virtuosity of performance rather than catchiness of tune. You, sir, fit the bill, and so far everything of your's I've run across has ended up on my favorites list. Well done. Very well done indeed.

Why YouTube is so cool: A chilly October morning and my coffee is deliciously warm. I hear the wonderful voice of Ian Anderson sing, "That was the best cup of coffee I ever had." A YT search for "Inside" calls up other Tull songs, including one from an album I know nothing of, "Heavy Horses." The tune "One Brown Mouse" is interesting, but then there's a link to this video. And now I am in slackjawed, goofy-grinning awe. I know little of the Stick. I'm running out of characters, so thanks.
