What a great day. I picked up Joe Locke early today we had lunch and talked about stuff then picked up Patricia Franceschy and turned on the cams.
Joe is a wealth of information and a very courageous vibe player. Ask to him play and he'll just start. He has a very modern approach to harmony which was really exciting for me to hear.
He talks humbly about his 4 mallet playing but wait until you see some of these vids. His 4 mallet solo playing is spectacular.
He's had a GREAT career and has so much to offer.
I am SO EXCITED to have him and John Piper on this site. They are 2 major figures in the vibe world, so we're in for a lot of fun.
Joe talked about doing lessons and using his new band in the lessons. He talked about doing an internet concert with the band.
Add to this that Piper is getting a video camera soon and will be cranking out video for the site and we're in for a lot of fun. Just think about the live vibe summits we could have.
I'm totally psyched. I'll get some of this video done and start putting up some of his lessons! You'll all dig them.
