Let's do another vibe hang!
Who want's to play? Let's get some new people!! Come on!
We're going to time Mike Pinto setting up his vibes. He says he can do it in 8 minutes. I say he's a liar.
The workshop seemed to be a success! Its not everyday that you get to meet guys like Joe Locke, Tony Miceli, Mike Pinto, Dana Sudborough, and Randy Sutin. It was a bit nerve racking to have to follow these performances at the vibe hang. Those guys are real heavy weights. Hopefully next time I'll be able to hold my own.
Joe Locke is THE hippest guy I've ever met. He has now become one of my major role models. Meeting and talking to him was such a blessing. I hope I can meet him again sometime.
I had a such a great time at the workshop that I must commend Tony for his passionate commitment to education for vibes players! I was truly inspired to step up practice and work much harder!
thanks Tony

I really enjoyed visitng Tony's workshop @ the University of the Arts this past weekend in
Philadelphia. I enjoyed what I heard and it was a pleasure meeting all of the vibists who attended. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, but I liked the fact that everyone came to work, and were serious about learning.
Tony's making a great contribution to our instrument with www.vibesworkshop.com and now also with events such as the Philadelphia Weekend Workshop, which affords vibists the opportunity to meet and grow in real-time.
I had a great time at the Philly workshop and this was for many reasons. First just hanging with guys and talking about the instrument for 2 days was great. However I also like being an observer and watching Joe, Dana and Mike do their thing, and see people getting excited.
Just to see the participants digging the classes was a thrill, because I know that guys are going home to practice, and I know that they left inspired. That's a huge deal.

Just saw a post on Facebook. Musser has some instruments from Disneyworld that they're selling. I don't know what's there, but I saw a set of vibes. FYI. If anyone checks further, post here what you find if you can.
