I came a cross a simple excercise for 12bar blues on piano, so I thought, let's take this to the…
Hey guys,
I want to share some thoughts with you. I recently did a gig outside of Thessaloniki with a quintet. Before even the gig start, a guy from the audience comes to me and said:

my girlfriend thinks i´m totally crazy but i´m a little bit proud :)
it took some time and research to put the malletkat up like this above the vibes. in the end it´s an keyboard stand expansion for 19€. i think it´s the best setup to play…
