Here's an idea to incorporate into your playing which works well over Alone Together.

John D' Agostino from KDSD jazz 88.3 out of San Diego sent me this review of my debut recording, " Jackson"
“The first thing that drew me into two new releases by vibraphonist Thomas Mackay — his Quintet’s Here’s That Rainy Day and especially The Mackay Project’s Jackson — was the revelation that he’d written vibes songs. This can’t be over-empasized.

There comes November… and its new TOTM: Alone Together! We started with great lessons and etudes. So join us!
Today we learned the passing of Angelo J. Vaglio. He must have been 95 or 96 years old but he kept playing nearly till this end and was an honourable member of our community. We dedicate this newsletter to him and will keep up vibing in his memory.

Most of us know who Angelo is. He was probably one of the oldest working vibes players in the world. There are a whole bunch of videos up here I think of him playing, it's not there on YouTube.
He was a really nice guy, totally into the Vibraphone, and that age 93 was working 3 to 5 days a week.
So it's pretty sad to report that Angelo died last night, but he did have a really long and active life!
Does anyone knows wo designed the first vibraphone with large bars and witch company first produce it?
thanks a lot
Giovanni
