Get a (new) grip?

jazzdad6705 19 September 2012

Greetings everyone. As some of you might know, I'm an adult student getting back to mallet playing after being away for many, many years. Used to have a marimba. Played lots of classical music. Now the proud owner of my first vibraphone. I'm having an absolute blast! Definitely trying to aim at jazz soloing, comping, ect on the vibes.

When we come together Sh** happens.

Look what happens when we all come together. The world is a better place in a small way. And that counts a lot. I always thought if I was nice to a stranger that I started a chain reaction of nice and if I was mean to a stranger I started a chain reacting of mean. 692 reads, I think we did some nice.

Behn Gillece Update

behng 10 September 2012

Hi all,

I'm sitting here on Monday afternoon, completely shattered from a weekend of rehearsals, paired with doubles on gigs. Needless to say, I don't feel like doing much, but I had some thoughts and observations lately that I wanted to share.

First of all, I would like to make more of a habit of sharing some experiences that may be interesting to people. I feel like I'm posting lessons, and not creating room for discussion enough; I promise I'll do a better job at that, haha!
