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.
