A day for the Irish

Just to wish all you vibers who are Irish or half Irish or who think or wish they were Irish a Happy St Patricks Day to you all, keep vibing. "Slainte Go Beo"

Go raibh do ghloine lán go deo.
Go raibh láidir go breá
an dion thar do cheann.
Go raibh tú í Neamh,
leathúair os comhair
a bhfuil a fhíos ag an diabhal
atá tú bás.

(translated)
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head.
be always strong.
May you be in heaven
a half hour before
the devil knows you're dead.

All Day Online Vibe Festival?! - pros included! -

The next "traditional" vibe hang is April 3 from 12-2 East Coast USA time.

I would LOVE to get more people involved. If we have to go longer than 2, then fine. You guys are posting videos and audios, so I know some of you can try this. You can use a web cam on your computer if you want. That will work ok with your computer mic.

In fact I have a bigger plan in mind… to have a whole day online music performance with vibes players from all over the world!!

Alexey Chizhik - Russia - Paganini two mallet swing!!

Go Paga!

Here's a Russian quartet performing a smoooking version of Paganini Caprice n°24 in St Petersburg. Man those guys can swiiinng!!

After a cool piano intro, you'll get around 1'45 to the heart of the tune with vibes on melody/solo. If I well remember we recently saw a performance of this vibist with 5 mallets!... Well I def. think he's more impressive with one 2!!

I hope "Paga" doesn't mind too much for this little 'variation' of style on his piece ;o)

Man I dig it! :o)

Enjoy!

Be Humble

I laughed when I heard vibraman mention Franz's name (Franz is a new subscriber). He said, 'Man I thought I knew all the great players in Germany'.

There's a message here I think worth mentioning. Man be humble. You just never know who's sitting in the audience, or who's around the corner from you.
