A cliché Tony pointed out inspired me on this post: "Accordion is old fashion. People make easily fun of it".

Like most people, I used to think so… up to the day I met some French masters. With Gary we talked about Astor Piazzola and French Richard Galiano. I'd like to present you two other masters from my country.

Francis Varis:
He used to teach in a school near my home, where a good friend made me know him. He plays with guitarist Titi Robin, a multi-instrumentist, specialised in "eastern" guitars like oud, bouzouk…

Hi All,

I've tried to contact Beiner Bags to get some info on the M55 cases, but haven't got any response. The only contact info I can find is a submit-a-question webpage (http://www.beinerbags.com/contact.php) -- I did that a week+ ago and haven't received any response. Does anyone have a better method of getting in touch with them?

Of the questions I have, one has been answered. I see that they now have an option for the cases without the bar bag at $550. Two other questions remain unresolved though:

Hey vibes-men and -women,

please look at the video in "HQ" (if possible) and "full screen size"! Then you can listen to the original solo and read the music as SIBELIUS-score. The cursor always shows you where you are.
For those who are interested in the sheet music of the transcription please click the following link:

Have fun!

We've talked about competition on the site for a while now. There are people in both camps. I'm in the middle but not against competition. However like always I'm thinking of everyone on the site and their opinions and thinking about my own and comparing them.

Hey guys, thought you might enjoy this performance of How Insensitive from last week in philly!

While I am not really a student on the board, I have in the past posted a couple of videos including the infamous Big Sneeze. There was more than the sneeze but that is another story.

Hi all,

Did you notice, Tony just posted his first video taken from the music school he teaches in. And you know, he doesn't only teaches vibes... He has entire classes of students of all kinds to deal with, trying to pass them on the 12 "Key law", and above all his incredible swing!

But what he ignores, is that when he left the room today after recording that Donna Lee quick vid, the camera went on and recorded the next lesson...

Our special "spy reporter" sent us this very confidential document: in exclusivity for you on vibesworkshop!

Enjoy!
