"Alice In Wonderland" - The classic song that I listened to so many times from the great Bill Evans recording Live at the Village Vanguard. I remember Gary talking to me in the lessons way back about Bill and his various recordings. He was a big fan and so was I. Great music is timeless. :)
Since the semester at Temple's over, and I finally have a good audio setup, and I have a lot of time on my hands, I'm going to try to record David Friedman's whole book. I've already finished more than half of the etudes -- I just need to record them. I figured it was a good challenge for me, and maybe it'll help someone out there. I'm not positive, but I don't think there exists a full set of the etudes recorded by someone. Anyway, here are the first 4. They're short, so I put them all in one video.

I'm going to start posting solo vibraphone videos much more now that the semester is over and I have mics and an audio interface. "This is I Remember Clifford." On my mind are modulation, dynamics, dampening, and maintaining a big picture arc to the arrangement.
This is an original tune I wrote the other day. I bought my daughter this little pentatonic glockenspiel thing that so far she has very little interest in. But it inspired me to write a tune using the pentatonic scale! I'm sure you will recognize the chords changes.

Of course what's happening now with the virus is terrible, however I am having so much fun at home working and practicing. Feels weird to say, as I know many people are suffering. I think my rough times are coming but they are not here yet. Meanwhile I prepare 3 tunes each week to play on Saturday on our Vibesworkshop FB page. And I love.
I made a run through of my mini concert for today.
