I haven't said anything on here in awhile, but I would hate myself if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity, for me, of a lifetime. With having the legendary Gary Burton here, Tony, you must be beside yourself. All these great…
I exchanged a couple nice emails with Gary Burton. He was suprised to see his video of Chega. I would imagine that that would be pretty heavy if you didn't know it existed and saw it after all this years. That's the 60's?

Here's some of the Teddy Charles talk on the site.
If you find that I missed something please post it in the comments with the title 'Update Teddy Charles' and I'll add to this.
I emailed Teddy tonight and invited him to the site. I hope he takes my offer to be our guest. It would be great to get his insight on this instrument!
Keep your fingers crossed.
Thanks everybody for the birthday greeting. I was touched and would have hugged every one of you(especially Tony and Joe! Thanks guys!!!) had we been within arms reach. It was a difficult birthday because I was in Barcelona for a workshop…
