Dear Angelo,
This is a "Who is". You are invited to tell us about your life. Whatever you like, how you feel like!
Thanks!

Guys,
So yesterday we started with Bruno the restoration of my vibes... oh man this is a great adventure! We don't know how long it will take, and how fine it will look, but we are doing it! (jeez, let it be short: I wanna play!!!!) :o(
I take a lot of pictures so far, but posting them on the site is too heavy and long work as I need to reduce them all, etc... But I guess many of you are on Face Book. So you can follow the whole process there:
Those of you who met me at the Delaware boot camp know I have a horrible time playing vibes in front of an audience. Part of that is just lack of confidence. And this is caused by not knowing what the hell I'm doing. So Ive decided to tackle this problem and start working live with vibes.
I booked a steady gig in duo for Wednesday evenings twice a month.
It will be a vibes and guitar duo.
Your help in determining how to do this without making a fool of myself would be greatly appreciated. Suggestions for tunes that are not too difficult in duo would be appreciated.
Hi all!
I discovered that the way I am trying to play Work Song is a quite tricky mallet dampening etude to me when I try to let the chords ring for comping. Next time I'll use a metronome - promised.
any feed back welcome, cheers Stefan
Shameless promotion ;-)
Last couple of weeks we have been busy finalizing the new midi system for our instruments.
We have just completed our first LW35 with embedded midi, and have prepared the gigVibe's design to be able to also carry the midi.
The system is a completely new design, a.o. it is smaller, so it fits inside the endblocks.
As it is now, it is only available for our instruments, but in the very near future it will also be available for other brands.

As you know I "follow" a bit the new members when they arrive. From the day he registered some 9 weeks ago, I always wondered... "For God's sake, but who is Monsieur 405"?!
Can you answer Ben? (please)

PS: in fact, I already know a few very interesting things, but hush... I will let him speak ;-)
Hi Everyone,
Wednesday, September 1st, is the second anniversary of JazzOn2 radio. To celebrate we will be airing some sample editions of our regular programming. A special one-hour edition of "Good Vibes" will be aired at 11:00 am eastern (US) time. I've pulled a couple of tunes from each of the first four "Good Vibes" shows, which began in May of this year. I will be playing Tony's "Nascimento," Joe Locke's "Alone Together" with vocalist Kenny Washington, Jay Hoggard's "Swing 'em Gates," and nine others. Hope you can listen in!
I was writing to Dr. Bob (drbobm55) and he sent me back a great email. I liked one section of the letter especially and asked if I could reproduce it here. Dr. Bob said ok.

Hi All,
Here's another tune from a gig back in July -- I'll Remember April. In addition to me on vibes, we have Brett Baker on guitar, Mike Caruso on bass and Bruce Hanahan on drums.
Enjoy :-).
