Roger Pratt also made an octagonal bo-stick for me. He also taught my son and I. He had his dojo in Jackson Michigan and was leading a quiet life. He always said if you want to get lost, come to Jackson, cause nobody cares who you are. Sadly he passed away last year. In his retired life, he DJ'd events, and played drums. We answered a craigslist ad and met a new artist. We formed a Ironcowgirl Missy and in 6 months we promoted and created a wonderful CD cultivating in a trip to play at The Legendary Buffalo Chip for the Sturgis SD motorcycle rally with an audience of 600,000 people, even playing with the Doobie Brothers. Here is a video with Sensei Pratt drumming.
