Vibraphone

Check out Milt's solo!

It's funny who you meet online! I met a person on youtube (Holyhell937)(Does this mean there are another 936 people who have used Holyhell as their youtube name???). He seems to be in high school, or junior high. I dug our brief dialogue online on the youtube page. He ended by saying, 'Hey why don't you write a piece for me to play in school'. I told him to subscribe to the site that there are plenty of pieces there to play!

Then on the way home from my dad's I listened to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFU7qDitTc
(Barryk - Is that a Theramin in this piece!)

Randy Sutin sent this to me. This cat is TRULY amazing.

Good times at UD

Reminisce about all those good times you hard or wish you were there for.

My great and dear friend and phenomenal violinist Diane Monroe never ceases to amaze me with her wisdom. At a workshop yesterday she said something that I thought was pretty profound.

We were playing in front of a bunch of really talented violinists and Diane was talking about rhythm. She said "Mozart was known for being a melodic genius, but thing was he was first a rhythmic genius". Then she began to explain that rhythm is the essential ingredient for being a melodic genius. That's what made Mozart a melodic genius.
