Is this what Yamaha uses now?

Rootbeer Lozano is one of a few vibe players I know down in Tampico, Mexico.

I met them in Patagonia and watched her school percussion ensemble play a beautiful concert. One of the best of the week! The group is led by Evaristo Aguilar an amazing teacher, percussionist. Their music is so heartfelt!

It's a drug cartel town. We went out to dinner and the first 2 restauraunts we went to were closed. I mean the owners ran away because they were approached by the cartel. Another we drove by had bullet holes all through the front of the building.

20% Off of Beiner Bag Cases for the Next 30 days.
Grant Beiner makes great cases! He's a percussionist so he knows what we need! I asked Grant for a very good discount for Vibeworkshop members and he offered 20%.

Here's the thing:

Sunday June 25th there will be a Wine Tasting - House Concert featuring myself and Violinist Diane Monroe.

It will take place at 3pm in the Germantown area of Philadelphia in a nice (environmentally green) house (my house).

Come if you can make it. For more information www.germantownarts.com.

Attached is the poster.

I learn and I learn and I learn.

I thought Jenco's totally sucked. Well I thought they were for students. Randy Suttin is the kind of guy who is way more open to instruments and sounds than me.

So I checked out Peter Schlamb's new CD Tinks. First he's a great solid player. He's the real deal and I'm always looking for the real deals. So I wrote him and thanked him for a great. I asked him what instrument he was using. He said a Junco. I couldn't believe. I love the sound of his vibes on the recording. This was eye opening for me. It makes me want to collect instruments!

Thanks for Steve Shapiro for posting on Facebook!

Burton - Times Square

I love this cd. Check out this youtube vid. It's a record! Some of you will probably think it sounds horrible. But I loved and love records. When I hear that sound of the record a little worn I get chills!

This cd I love especially for the vibe sound. It's I think my favorite vibe sound on a recording. And the vibes sound beautiful on Coral!

What do you think? Check out the whole record it's really great!

I've decided to move the Philly workshop to my home.

I'm planning a great week from July 10-14 (I can even do something on the 9th If people come in early)

It's really getting impossible to do independent workshops at Universities unless you're bringing in 100 students. The red tape, background checks etc., forms are unbelievable! You need a team of 2 or 3 people to pull all this off.

Here's a whole section on scales. Very complete! Between Behn and myself it has lots of ideas and explanations to you help with chords and scales and improvising!
