Belts & microphone placement experiences from the "old geezer" that I'd like to pass on (by Angelo)

I am very thankful that Tony Miceli invited me to join the VW and seeing what a great "tool" that it is for all members to have access to answers for their vibraphone category of instrument problems.

Massimo

This is a buddy of mine, Massimo. He's a very creative cat. I actually haven't talked to him in a couple years, he was and assume still is a jeweler. He comes from a family of jewelers as I recall, his dad actually being a jeweler for the Pope. Pretty heavy.

Massimo is also a great drummer and composer. Check out the vid. Cool stuff.

I got 4 mallets, not acquainted with the arrangement, thanks to my great teachers, they all applauded!

The video(s) are going on-site for all to see and the message is, " if you respect your music teacher and his offerings, you can always come up with a "quality conclusion!".

Mike Pinto demonstrates "how to approach playing a melody line, as written, when you are not acquainted with it!". Note the improv's as they improve from the first chorus onward, even with my "jumping in" for a couple of bars and then "getting out", leaving him to continue on beautifully and in the end, the favorable applauds of the listeners!
