Thought I'd join in on these practice tapes. I've been working on reharmonizing this tune. Just some of it, not the whole thing. I recorded it for myself, but I figure I'll just throw it on here for everyone. I tried to get some motion in…
Hi all,
I decided to get in on the practice tapes posting just for the fun of it. I figured at the least, it would motivate me to get my s*** together on this tune I've been working on, Falling In Love With Love. I love this tune! My…

Bobby's among the living vibes gods! How many times did we watch his vids? Listened to his albums? Felt deeply touched by a few seconds of love he can put in his music. Man he can make you cry with just one note!
That's a great power, a…
Hey everybody,
I am going to play Red Norvo's "How's Your Mother-In-Law" in my March show (March 6 and 9). Does anyone have any anecdotes about this tune, how it was named, for instance?
Feb is all set to go on Feb 6 and 9. We'll "visit…
Since there was talk about vibe mics, I thought I'd post something official and see if we could get some talk and photos.
I use and sell the AMT Vibe Mics and I love them. 3 mics, 2 above and 1 below. It's a great set up and the sound is…
Okay, after Tony's joke on the practice tape post, I decided this subject probably needed its own thread.
So here is my story about the motor:
When I was a student, I started playing and decided that to sound modern on the vibes, one…

I have a malletKAT 2 octave Express 6.1, and a 1 octave expander, purchased at different times. The expander is louder, and the top octave of the Express is even softer than it's !st octave. How do I get them in balance? I have followed…

Here's another one guys... A better recording, too. I was working on a thing with this tune to do the first time thru kind of rubato, with the motor off. Then I kick on the vibrato, and go into a weird meter (mostly 5/4 ish) feel.. the…
Hey all,
I'm posting this tune for our new member Luc Lainé. Luc is among Patrice Guillon's friends. He lives near Bordeaux.
Here is a tune from a home made album he did in 2005 with accordion player Pascal Lamigne. The title "La Marine"…
Been working on this for a while, so in the spirit of practice tapes I utilized my recently acquired Repeater to record a take (or ten...). Yes, I took it too fast, there are wrong notes and harmony f-ups, I skip an eighth in the solo (…
He's smiling :)
I didn't take any pictures of the process of building the rails. Mostly because I have a proprietary way of making them so they work, in my opinion, better than the original.
When I approach my instrument, I often do this. I used to do it with a tanpura machine (creates a drone that is used in Northern Indian classical music), but now I use the gong. It's not really a composition. I just start from a note…
I was humbled by Steve Shapiro's practice tape of April In Paris. (great job steve)
So I'm going to up his April in Paris with 3 versions of It's You Or No One.
Let's see this wonderboy top that one. Nobody practices harder than me!…
