Hi All,
I'll be Livestreaming my gig tonight (27-Sep) with the MetroWest Jazz Project from 8:00 to 10:30 PM EDT. I'll try to place the camera in a better location this time :-). You can tune it at http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1758489/events/2431779.

This is my practise in the tune sophisticated lady. Simple but my goal was to to play the melody and the chords.
John Keene mentioned in another post about Vince Hyman's Exotica group, Exotik-a-GoGo.
Above is one of their YouTube videos.
Check out the others.

This weekend, I went to a ukulele festival with my dad. He's pretty cool, check him out: http://www.youtube.com/user/grassshk/videos (I recommend The Werewolves of London).
And here's one we did together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryhw1t9lCQw
Anyway, he bought what we thought was a Hawaiian ukulele CD, but when we listened to it, almost every track had vibes. In fact, there was more vibraphone on the CD than ukulele!
A couple incorrect passing melody notes in my right hand. I told my right hand which note to hit, but for some reason it chose not to listen:)
Hi
This is a tune I am working for the vibe hang. This is my etude....
Bye!
Hi Everyone,
I went to hear Tony with Kevin and Paul last night, with a "new" (to me) drummer Anwar Marshall.
So fantastic, every song, every word! What a great combination of talent.
You have got to hear them in person if at all possible.
I'll be writing a piece on this gig for Jersey Jazz. It will appear in the December issue.
Kudos to Tony and the guys.

Check out Gary being interview on "On Point" -- http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/09/18/gary-burton-memoir. Nothing earth shattering if you've read his book and heard him speak before, but worthwhile.

This video is one year old and I had missed it! FYI, Harry today is 85! Vibes keep you young! Enjoy! :o)
I've uploaded the Livestream video from my gig last Friday to YouTube -- Enjoy!
