Hi All,
Running a little late this month, been very busy, in a good way.
Here's the info on April's show:

Vibist new to Good Vibes this month is Harold Masteller, owner of The Jazz Corner on Hilton Head Island. Masteller plays the flugelbone and, inherited from his dad Harold (who played jazz violin in the '30s) the vibes as well. On Tuesday nights Bob plays with the band; the club itself is open SEVEN nights a week -- with jazz. The restaurant is fabulous, everything the kitchen sends out is delicious.

Hey guys,
I'll be in Japan (Tokyo) from April 2nd to the 8th and I'm looking for a vibraphone.
Any information will be appreciated.
Feel free to contact me at:
christosraf@mac.com

Thank you

Hi VW-User,

I've been neglecting the pan lately so I thought I would run through some tunes. It is pretty much in need of a tuning- do you notice it? I don't want to play it out anywhere until I get it tuned and I'm really broke. Tuning these is expensive.

My homework is always late!
I tried to play the melody with mallet dampening as an exercise.

I'm trying too hard to use this sound that I was having some fun with. I think it sounds better in person than on the video-but I like it. I will def use it less in a real performance-but I think it sounds kinda cool.

Any thoughts on the best way to avoid getting tangled up?
Thanks

If you're in the Philly Area and free tomorrow afternoon, come check out the Essentially Ellington jazz fest at Temple University. There should be a lot of great HS bands there as well as some awesome clinics with local pros, I'm playing around 2 with the Pennsbury concert Jazz Band, we'll be playing Three and One (thad jones), Cherry Juice (thad jones), and Lightnin' (ellington). Hope to see ya there!
