Hey everyone,

the VDOP is another way to try and get the word out about the vibraphone. Official the day is called 'VIRTUAL DAY OF PERCUSSION: FEATURING THE VIBRAPHONE'.

The plan is to play and hang all day. I'm planning a google hangout throughout the day, live performances and videoed performances.

If you want to participate video yourself playing something well. Put up on youtube as UNLISTED (not private) and send me the link. I'll do all the rest.

I've asked some pros and long time members who are playing out and about to do something already, but all are welcome.

It kills me! The music is so great and simple and the audience goes nuts. I just love music like this that is acoustic and simple and makes people happy. That's life, huh? life can be that simple.

Tony has set the example for this...

I got up today. got ready. came downstairs. opened up my digital journal and logic.

and played as if i was on stage (at 8am). then i listen back and take notes. here it is. i hope you guys do stuff like this.

here are the notes. they are usually brief like this. sometimes me telling me i suck. but not so bad today.

-------------

i think i did good. and i felt totally comfortable. was it because i used rubato? i think rubato is an important thing when playing solo. time to get your center!

song is you was finally ok. and i finally found a cool way through the bridge.
