I can get some free housing with Matthais' friends. He said it wouldn't be a problem If you want the free housing email me tonymiceli@gmail.com. Not sure how many spots he can find, but iI know it's a few.

I'm selling one of my M55s. No motor and in good shape.

If you're seriously interested you can email me for more info at tonymiceli@gmail.com.

I'm in Philadelphia, PA. Wouldn't know how to ship it so that's probably not a great idea.

I want you guys to hear Grant Beiner's story. You talk about a musical entrepreneur. Grant is amazing and he's vibesworkshop's official case maker.

Grant tell us, Who is Grant Beiner?

Charly is a long time friend of vibesworkshop and she's a great young vibe player studying with David Friedman at the Berlin Jazz Institute.

Let's focus on the TOTM's we've covered so far.

Let's also work on ways of building technique, solo playing, studying chords and all other topics you guys might have.

We'll start the day at about 10am and go till noon.
Then have lunch. Get back together at about 1:30 or 2. We'll go until about 4. Break for dinner. Come back for percussion ensemble at about 5:30. After percussion ensemble we'll hang and have a concert, or jam together.
