WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I PUT MY STICKS ON THE VIBES, ONE.... ONLY ONE..... MALLET FALLS OFF. EVERY TIME.
THAT'S IT. JUST A QUESTION. BOY IT PISSES ME OFF.
Recently I have noticed, when on the Internet, on almost any page I visit whether it be a bulletin board or just pages browsing the Internet, there always seems to be certain key words that are highlighted in color and double underscored. These words do not have to be clicked on to activate. If you just pass your mouse cursor over the underscored words, then an annoying or unwanted ad pops up that appear to be sponsored by "QwikLinx". Move the cursor away and they go away in a couple of seconds or you can click the x box in upper right corner.
I can get some free housing with Matthais' friends. He said it wouldn't be a problem If you want the free housing email me tonymiceli@gmail.com. Not sure how many spots he can find, but iI know it's a few.
I'm selling one of my M55s. No motor and in good shape.
If you're seriously interested you can email me for more info at tonymiceli@gmail.com.
I'm in Philadelphia, PA. Wouldn't know how to ship it so that's probably not a great idea.
It's Christmas season, or Hanukkah/Kwanza/Solstice season (not trying to start the war on Christmas, though!). What are your favorite jazz Christmas albums?
A few that I like
GRP Christmas- Various artists (including Gary)
Crescent City Christmas Card- Wynton Marsalis
Oscar Peterson Christmas- Oscar Peterson, obviously
then of course
Charlie Brown Christmas- Vince Guraldi
What about YOU!?

@marie - don't forget to put this in the newsletter. yeah????
Hey guys. Saturday, December 8th, 12pm I'm doing a vibe hang at my house for a couple of my U Arts Students. Behn Gillece is coming by as well. If any of you are around and want to come hang, then come over. Email me for more info.
I'm going to set up the instruments and we're going to do some duo playing. Probably from 12-2
I just wanted to make you look. Soft mallets don't suck. Well not all the time.
I saw a great student of mine play recently. He's a great up and coming vibe player I think. I was listening to him comp and could hear nothing. I know he could hear the instrument, I get that. If HE couldn't hear the instrument and he was comping (with soft mallets) then that's not cool. But I'm sure he could.
So I've almost finished producing a CD, now what do I do?
I have no delusions of grandeur here, but I do want it to be "out there" and available. Our major goals in producing this CD were to expand our musical capabilities (already accomplished :-)), and maybe get more/better gigs.
Hey vibesworkshop!
So...I haven't been getting very far with my transcription of Afro Blue because I don't have a vibraphone to play for ten days and haven't had anything to update my blog with. It's frustrating not having my instrument...I feel incomplete. I am grateful to have access to a piano at work though and have been staying late to play (and then freezing in the dark waiting for the late bus home each night!), but man I miss my vibes. Just ten days, and I'm going crazy!!!
