I read something on V.W. about a Deagan for sale and it reminded me of a project I did years ago when I drew the Deagan (model 145) out on Auto Cad. I thought that since the Vibes Workshop is EVERYTHING vibraphone, I should add it to the resources. (see pdf attachment)

I had written this post this morning with all my heart... I thougth it was a birthday message... but it was in fact a "Non-Birthday" message! Oops... Sorry JD...

I was talking with Joe tonight about Bobby. Joe played a cool lick on the phone and we were both playing vibes and he was talking about the lick. It was cool.

Then he brought up Kenny Garrett's 'Beyond the Wall' and Bobby's playing on it. I had it but never really gave it a good listen to. He talked about how the album was made with the band and background vocals. That got me intrigued so I dug it out.

Had a nice gig last night and was driving home listening to Billy Pierce and thinking about food. I was coming to a red light slowing down and this guy nailed me in the back. I jumped out of my car and saw him trying to start his car. He was going to split. It would not start and he saw me and jumped out and said he was sorry. His car was totaled.

Hey Everyone,

I have a gig with a Big Band in May and I have a meeting next week to discuss the repertoire. I was wondering if some of you guys might have some ideas for existing arrangements for Big Band with vibes. Ofcourse I'm thinking of all the Terry Gibbs Dream Band stuff and also Lionel Hampton. I also have a great record of Milt Jackson with the Clayton-Hamilton orchestra(Explosive!)

I was just wondering if any of you would have some more ideas, so I can check some stuff.

Thanks a lot!

TJ

Most of us voice from the bottom up, right? C maj 7, we hit the C and build up from there.

Try voicing from the top down. See the B or the D and then fill in the rest of the chord. It's not easy to switch, but it will REALLY help your playing..

1) Musser One Niter Vibe - $1100.

The old model, uniform bars. Bars, resonators, pedal and frame show heavy use, but are okay, and sound good. New legs and cross-bar. Should be re-strung, new strings included. Motor is included, but has been removed. Motor works, but needs new AC wire.

2) Musser 2 1/2 octave Rosewood marimba - $400.

In decent shape, should be re-strung.

3) Musser Orchestra Bells - $200.

Beat up, but all parts are present.

Very nice to watch. Move over Stockhausen.
