   About Chris Crain

Thanks for stopping by and welcome. The guitar-like lines and bass you hear in my songs are performed on the Chapman Stick®, which has been part of my life since 1984. I have published four books, including my most recent tutorial – “Stick eLessons”.

Among my recording projects are two solo Stick CDs and my latest, “Daybreak”, which puts the Stick in an acid jazz and instrumental rock setting. “Daybreak” is featured here, with The Stick providing solid bass lines, smooth comping, and clean & distorted solos - accompanied with drums and keys.

“Daybreak” is only available as a download at ChrisCrain.com, so please come by and order your copy. My other CDs are available at CDBaby.com

Hello,
Thank you!
For beauty being the best of all we know. Imagination stakes out heavenly claims,Nor is there fairer work for beauty found
From all the woes that in the world abound; If from man's greater need beauty redound. May your week be imaginative where Beauty abounds! XX~


For beauty being the best of all we know


For beauty being the best of all we know
Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims
Of nature, and on joys whose earthly names
Were never told can form and sense bestow;
And man has sped his instinct to outgo
The step of science; and against her shames
Imagination stakes out heavenly claims,
Building a tower above the head of woe.
Nor is there fairer work for beauty found
Than that she win in nature her release
From all the woes that in the world abound;
Nay with his sorrow may his love increase,
If from man's greater need beauty redound,
And claim his tears for homage of his peace.
by Robert Bridges



Much Love Always Anita

Hey Chris and friends thereof,<br />Check the original tune "Journey To Freedom" On My Jukebox. It is a Cuban Songo/Funk-Fusion Thang. This is in pre-production with all computer instruments programmed by me with my live guitar track. More details are in the blog. There will be a full version forthcoming with some real humans playing the instruments. Just a preview/note-sketch for now.<br /><br /><br />Enjoy

Hi Chris. 10 years ago I tried a ChapmanStick out for a couple of weeks, so I know how hard it is... I didn't buy one at that time, but I have not given up. Before I'm 70 I will buy one and start practicing. Cheers, Sven/bRONk
