#201 - The Music Stand That Can Withstand The Test
Did you know that the portable, cheap, flimsy, music stand we all recognized in school growing up was patented in 1900, then modified in the 1950s – and hasn’t really changed much since. Every musician has a story. Stands that didn’t assemble easily (or collapsed in the middle of a performance), not to mention the struggle to fold them back up… Seriously, has anyone ever been able to fit a traditional music stand back in the little carrying bag that comes with it? Welcome to the 21st Century. David Law, who is the creator and founder of the Wee Stand™ by Noisy Clan, joins us on the show to discuss how the idea came about after watching his kids struggle with all the books, instruments, and backpack heading to and from school, ultimately designing a sleek, ultra-portable music stand. The Wee Stand™ can be described as the lightest stand on the market, compact, storable and super fast to deploy and collapse, offering full functionality and ultra-portability for musicians on the go. It’s so cool that we actually have one in our studio. www.noisyclan.com The Business Side of Music ™ © 2022 Lotta Dogs Productions LLC Showrunner and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella Producer and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas Recorded inside an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what’s left of Music Row in Nashville TN (except during the Covid 19 pandemic, then it's pretty much been accomplished VIA Zoom or over the phone, with the exception for those fearless enough to come to Bob Bender's dining room… and there have been a few that have survived).
