Things are slow here in Philly and just last week I got depressed about not having a bunch of…

I plan to use the vibraphone especially for classical music. I'll be happy to listen any comments about my first record:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZG1NXKsePY
I apologize if this is totally cheezy. But It kicked my ass. Go easy on me.
This tune kicked my ass Bigtime. I still can't believe it. I heard Charlie Haden sing it and fell in love with it. I tried to play, thinking it would be a piece of…

I think about Gary Burton growing up in the midwest. He must…
I think we'll be having another vibe hang this saturday! I think Behn Gillece will be here and I'm trying to get Patty Franceschi and maybe a couple other players from the area over.
Also Marc Prz will be on bass. I'm hoping for 1pm east…
I spent about 15 hours practicing a tune I wrote, 'Song For Meg'. I've always had trouble playing it solo. So I decided to really work through it and here it is.
