Here's a clip for a recent gig here with some old friends. I hadn't played with Charlie and Les for at least 10 years. We had a fun night listening and interacting with each other. Some guys go out for a night of bowling. I look at this as "our night of bowling". We all went out (joined by my wife Pam) for a drink and conversation at the Exeter Inn in Exeter, NH. An overall great night. I'm thinking that we are pretty lucky to be able to do this stuff. Play good music, hang with friends and get paid for it.

Guys, I'll be in Antwerp, Belgium on Friday, October 19th for a vibe clinic from 11:30-1 and an improv/ensemble clinic from 2-4. It would be great if anyone is in the area to come by and hang for a bit. Location:

Hi! I am urgently looking for a K & K Midi Vibe Wizard (the midi master interface) for an old 25 pin K & K audio pickup system. Unfortunately, I know that this product is discontinued so I have to buy one used. I hope to have a swift and positive response. Thank you very much!

Oh man... Warren was just 8 yo... awesome! :o)

I am learning Here's That Rainy Day for my jam with accordion and guitar. I found a Karaoke track for practice.
www.amazon.com/Heres-That-Rainy-Day/dp/B002QO5OJK/

Here is my practice session.

My critiques of my playing are that I should play the melody on the beat and probably lay out more.
I like that I kept the melody straight, without a lot of ornamentation. I had versions with ornamentation and it didn't seem to fit this situation.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Remember you alternate between the 2 mallets in each hand.

Today is Emilie's b-day... ('our' Emilie) and I found out too that Vid Jamnik ('our' Vid) has now his own quartet!! I told him he was not nice to hide us those kind of things... so here is a great recording of their own "Emily" version from this summer. Enjoy!! :o)

My own transcription. Comments and criticisms welcome.
