This aria was the entrance piece for my wedding (the original one I mean)...

That was 12 years. Today I listen to this video, and everything is suddenly emerging from deep inside: my satin dress, the veil on my face, my father's arm, our steps on the central lane of the church, full of people who had seen me running there as a little girl, and behind us my very impressed Bruno at the arm of his mother...

Jeez... I had never seen it that clear before Bobby sang it back 'to me'... this man must be an angel...

Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Percussion Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The festival will start on Monday, June 21st and end on Friday, June 25th. There are several tracks that we will have for students to choose from. The tracks are vibraphone, marimba, drum set and hand percussion.

Vibe faculty will include Dave Samuels, Gustavo Agatiello and myself.

About the schedule:

Monday is registration along with several concerts and masterclasses after registration.

Classes and ensembles begin on Tuesday.

Can someone explain why the bars are backwards?
Funny stuff. Possibly the first recording of slap bass.

I just thought it was funny that nobody has seen me in anything but t-shirts on the site, so in fun, this image.

Now the singer is Joana Pascale, a phenomenal singer. Bass player is my buddy Madison Rast, a heavy bass player.

Bari-sax is Mark Allen a recent grad of University of the Arts, with talent and ears we would all kill for. He plays his ass off and he's 21. He is definitely a contender!

I think we should all feel really proud of ourselves. Look at the community we've created and look at all that's happening. I think we're all really doing something in a big way for the vibraphone. And this is cool. Yeah, I do the video and put up and lessons and set the page up, my partner handles all the programming aspects. But all that is useless without all of you guys. And we're coming up on 3 years and a lot of stuff is happening! This is great!

Just thought I'd mention that.

Following after Behn's footsteps. He just finished a lesson on Sus chords and used Maiden Voyage to play over.

So I thought I'd follow up with a couple other exercises to use on the tune Maiden Voyage.

This is to anyone who might be interested:
After considerable experimentation I've concluded that one way of playing vibes while seated is to use a hydraulic barstool and raise it to a point where the keyboard is slightly below the pelvic area. The swivel pedal, with a little practice, can be manipulated with the heel of either foot, after slanting the pedal slightly upward as opposed to its normal down position, with a wooden block or bed riser right next to the pedal and the toe rests on the block or riser with the heel slanted toward the center of the swivel pedal.
