It’s been my stage name since the late 1980’s and no, I am not a drummer.
People started calling me “The Stickman” after Billy Ray Cyrus (long before he was signed or famous outside of the Tri-State) started calling me that. I used to jam with him and his band on Sunday night’s at the infamous Ragtime Lounge and I gave them a copy of the 1st album I ever was a part of. The song I wrote music for on that album was called “The Stickman”.
I still remember being at the Huntington Mall a few weeks after BRC started calling me by that name and hearing “Hey, it’s the Stickman” and thinking I was suddenly hot stuff...which I never was lol.
Cool background story. Thanks for sharing it.
