About me:

DON SCHIFF

DON SCHIFF

He's played for Elvis, Ike and Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow,
Dwight Yoakam, Pam Tillis, Eddie Money, Raquel Welch,
Ann-Margret, Sammy Davis... to name a few.
(For a complete list, go to www.donschiff.com and click on 'Bio')
He has a Gold Album for the song he co-wrote for Pat Benatar called
"Cerebral Man" (Winfield/Schiff) on her "Wide Awake In Dreamland" album.
Scored music for a few films:
"Live From Death Row", "Family Values", "84 Charlie Mopic"
and did a little acting in those films as well.
(Heavy on the word "little" Don says... "Don't blink you'll miss me!")
He started as a bassist/songwriter
and then around 1975 started playing the "Chapman Stick".
Later in 2000, Stick Enterprises and Ned Steinberger
(of Steinberger guitars fame) collaborated and invented the NS/Stick.
Both instruments are tapped.
(Much like a piano has two handed parts - these have that capacity as well);
and can play bass and guitar at the same time.
The uniqueness to the NS/Stick is that you can pluck, pick and tap it.
He has developed techniques that incorporate any
of these techniques combined at the same time.
Given the first NS/Stick to develop styles and techniqes on,
he has continued to do so since it's inception.
His CD "Peering Over Clouds" is all NS with drums/percussion.

Hey Don,

I wanted you to know that I have now finally uploaded some of my work to my page - even though it's actually not a music page!!!

These clips are in sequential order and they are all excerpts taken from a particular concert that I put on here in Melbourne almost 2 years ago for an audience of around 800 people.

I programmed, arranged and recorded all of the orchestral arrangements here in my studio as well as a couple of backing harmonies that you'll notice from time to time.

The whole show went for a couple of hours, but these 6 clips together only run for about 35 minutes.

If you have the time and the interest I'd like to invite you to watch all 6 clips and maybe give me your comments if it's not too much trouble. Your opinions would be highly valued and gratefully received.

Anyway I hope that you're going really well, happy and healthy, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

All the very best.


Tim.

Hey Don! How's it going today? I recently saw a video clip of you playing (shredding) the NS Stick at a Namm show. Man, it was so good it frightened me! You have the Chops of Doom.
We just posted a new song here if you feel like checking it out. Take care - Matt
