Another one from way back...

ok, still positive. the plan is coming together. Or is there a hot chick behind the camera...

What can I say? This is all your fault.

Thanks for including me on the ride.
I am proud to call you friend.

Happy Birthday!

The start of vibesworkshop.com! You can see he's already figuring how to get this done...

Tony,

This tune is very special to me and to many people. It’s a true symbol for vibists, and I know for you too. It has beautiful lyrics and great lines, but difficult to play/sing.

So when my buddy Bernard proposed to do it as duet for Music Day I thought: Oh wow! Now this is a great challenge! And what if we’d finally manage something "listenable"? How cool to post it for Tony!!

This is my contribution on this very special day for a truly great guy and friend who has over the past year and a half or so done so much for this site and its members,forgive the mistakes hope you get something from it, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY HAVE A GREAT DAY

Thanks for all you do! Have a great day today!

Here is another thing I studied with tony when we started our lessons. It's Hank Mobley's solo on Remember. I actually made a bass part to play along with. If any of you guys are interested in the bass files, let me know and I'll post them. I even made these in all keys!

I make a few mistakes on the solo here, but you'll get the idea...

All in honor of Tony's birthday!! Lets all share, share, share!

Guess: two French chicks wanting to post a tune for a cool Philly guy. What might be their choice, huh? They will quickly get to a famous French love song, all in softness like a lullaby…

So here we go, Emilie and I… just for you! Cuz with you, it’s La Vie en Rose! :o)

Happy Birthday!

The Frenchicks

Here is my very first lesson I got from Tony. This is from november 2006. Back then we exchanged mp3's back and forth on a site tony set up. That was the old fashioned way we did it back then...haha

Anyway I thought I'd share this because I remember being VERY excited getting these mp3's. Here is this guy from Philly I just met on the internet and suddenly we are talking to each other. And the cool thing is that tony really talks and talks and get's a lot of his ideas across in this way.

I sent him a couple of files. Two versions of stella and recorded some scales.
