+![Playing Billie Jean on the Stick](/images/posts/billiejean.png)
+
+[This video](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTMyOTc3Nzcy.html) was recorded some
+time in December 2009. I had just learned how to [tap with both hands on the
+Chapman Stick](/posts/2009-07-01-chapman_stick.html) when I was contacted by
+representatives of the Chinese video portal [Youku.com](http://youku.com). They
+asked me to provide them with a quick video of myself showing off the peculiar
+instrument I told them I had just learned to play.
+
+Later the video was to be tacked on to [footage that was recorded some days
+earlier with the Youku team](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTMzMDA1MDU2.html).
+All together this was supposed to be my entry for the voting to join the show
+全家都来赛 (the official English name is the silly *"Super Family"*).
+
+As the show's purpose is to present talented families, I asked Jackie to play
+the drums while I would cover bass, chords and vocals of Michael Jackson's
+*Billie Jean*. The result [can be seen
+here](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTMyOTc3Nzcy.html).
