Hi there,
I wanted to put a shout out to the community to see if anyone out there lives in or near Tokyo, Japan?
I'm trying to arrange a set of vibes in August there for a show and any help would be much appreciated.
I'll also…
A gem of a song with a beautiful melody, lyrics and harmony written by Paul McCartney. I hadn't played this song in a longtime and started experimenting with it last week. The song plays itself. I worked out some harmonic variations on the…
So, for those of you who don't know me, Ms. Magnolia is my somewhat recently acquired (and in the process of being revived) Deagan Imperial model 55C. This week she taught me a valuable lesson that I think probably could be learned by…
Hi Everyone,

I'm not a great reader but I can manage. First I put the music…
Does anyone know about Saito vibes? One for sale here that a young student of mine is interested in. Motor not working, C to C (which I don't have a good feeling about) and $900. If the bars are terrific, maybe they're worth it. But are…
I wanted to mention this beautiful series by Kjell Samkopf.
Kjell sent me the books and the CDs. No strings attached. Which is great because I can rarely listen to CDs sent to me. For once I was actually bored and put on one of his CDs…
