it will be there for 7 days
I just had a phone call with someone. We were talking and I thought of something I wanted to say. I knew underneath I was partly bragging about ME. Strike one. Then the conversation just started to drift but I HAD to get my plug in there. So I tried to work it in the new subject. I blurted it out and sounded like a frickin' idiot. Awkward moment but the other person just moved on.
On the way home I realized that I have done this with soloing AND comping as well. You guys get it?
Hey everyone,
Who worked his butt off running around and helping everyone. THIS would NEVER HAD BEEN RUN SO SMOOTH WITHOUT TJACO.
Dana recently posted a performance by a Glass Harp player (see "Check This Out").
Here is another performer I found, Petr Spatina.
Check out his vibrato technique starting at 1:38.

Hi Gang,
Since we all seem to know the birthdays of our esteemed pros (both living and deceased) and we take a moment to recognize them, we, at the same time, do not have in our profiles the birthdates of our ever growing membership. Thought I would kick that off today with this announcement:
I am 75 years of age as of yesterday, Feb 11, and am proud to be able to announce that and very happy that I am physically here to experience it.
If you want to register early (last year we turned people away) email Harvey price at hprice@UDel.Edu. He'll take a small deposit and hold your place.
We're starting to get ready for the Delaware workshop again. This will be from July 31st until August 5th.
Between the instruments we get and ones people bring we will have an instrument for everyone, also a practice room. I think you'll also each have your own piano in the room.
I have a set of Friedman 30Ls to give away.
If you want them, all you have to do is put up 4 Friedman CDs via the Amazon Review under POST.
The first one to put 4 cds up gets the mallets.
Okay, after Tony's joke on the practice tape post, I decided this subject probably needed its own thread.
So here is my story about the motor:
Fair warning -- this is a major geek-out. I'll forgive anyone who doesn't want to slog through it, and I don't expect many comments.
But, I'll go ahead. As often comes up in comments to posts here, this is a freakin' fantastic site. Most recently this comment has come up in response to the video of David playing "Giant Steps", but the awesomeness has many dimensions, including the contributions of the star players, the working pros, the students and the people just trying to make the best music they can.
