The Ballad of the Sad Young Men

The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" - a great ballad composed in 1959 by Tommy Wolf with lyrics by Fran Landesman. I was listening to Keith Jarrett and the trio on the plane home today and they play this song beautifully. It has been one of my favorites but I hadn't really checked it out. A beautiful song with a great melody and superb lyrics.

My Frame (V5)

On August 24, 2019, Leigh from Malletech told me that they do not want to follow any of my concepts.
With that, I'm free again to market my topics myself or with other partners.

I have decided not to look for another vibraphone manufacturer as a partner, but to build a small manufactory in Europe and possibly with a private partner in the USA, if there is sufficient interest in this frame.

Learning Logic

Recently I had the opportunity to learn to use Logic Pro X. If you are like me and haven't dived deep into the world of music software programs and MIDI, it's definitely a lot to learn, but could be worth it! One of the aspects that made this program most useful for me as I began was the ability to import an mp3 track and change the bpm to match the project tempo, meaning I could import a song to learn, slow it down to play along, then speed it up little by little without losing the quality.
