Red Note is comprised of stickist Joshua Runion, who started off being “forced” to play bass by his neighborshortly thereafter finding that music made him happyand like so many other musicians, found himself addicted.
Runion began playing the Chapman stick in 1998. After many years of a continuous struggle between the bass and the Stick, the Stick defeated the bass and now the bass lies in a corner sulking.
Runion formed a jazz-fusion group with the same name (Red Note) until it became apparent that the other musicians’ life circumstances would not allow them to continue. Joshua kept the Red Note name as a solo artist.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes. You'd be surprised. I have always been a ham. I played at a club once that let people bring pets, which sang along with my Stick.
Your musical influences
Neil Diamond, Biz Markie., and early Alice Cooper.
What equipment do you use?
One extended scale graphite Chapman Stick(www.stick.com), a GR-33 synth, a GT6B bass processor, a GT-6 guitar processor, a small PA, the technical website design expertise of my friend John Taylor(www.wheatstonebridge.net), several different kinds of vegatables, and gallons of coffee.

I think the Stick is an amazing instrument and those that can play it well (which it sounds like you are one) are simply amazing artists, in my opinion. Like the demo song.
You are having way to much fun playing with/by yourself.
Keep it up fellow sticker.
JOSHUA!
