Hi everybody. It's been a long time, I know. I went into hibernation for a couple of months in order to study that book by Hal Galper, Forward Motion. I did some artwork (pastels, a real cool hobby)as well and so I lost touch with all of you guys. I'm really ashamed. Here is some Body and Soul I played yesterday, over a comping tape that my piano-player friend JB Mira made for me (bass and dms are Real Tracks). Here it is. I promise to come back on the site more regularly.

This time I hope to get some feed back for as you know Jazz has been my life. I will be 86 yrs old October 13th and I am still trying to find different things to play on songs that I have been playing all my life (Not Easy). Now what I am about to say will throw a curve to a lot of your members but I say this from experience and I will try to explain what I am about to say as best as I can.

"YOU CANNOT TEACH ANYBODY TO REALLY PLAY JAZZ!" What you can teach them is how to compose, write songs. Back in the 50's I had a student that played the Vibes pretty good and now wanted to play jazz.

Cool tune!

Apparently kids from all over the world are playing the Glock! :-)

This was recorded live.

Let me know what you think!

Adam Ledbetter- Rhodes

Hey everyone,

Quick question... does anyone know where to buy the paint Musser uses for its resonators, pedals... and for the sake of the discussion, any other parts on the vibe.

It would be nice to be able to repaint, for example, one set of resonators and have it match the other one without having to do both. Any ideas?

Two things of note here; one being that Spain is being played incessantly all over the world and continues to show world appeal, and two, the girls are still coming. Watch out fellas, there are more playing vibes and marimba then you want to know about.

Of note; by the time I found where to post this, I almost forgot what the video was like so it will be like I am watching it for the first time again myself. Marie and Jen should be very happy about this video.

I truly hope all of the vibesworkshoppers enjoy. Here is Daniella and Ana from Moldova.

Ok, my computer could just manage to edit this video.

This is a backstage view from an opera I play in at the moment. Vibes and Drums.
So what I do here is the big(or one of) switch!

this is what I do in just a matter of seconds....

- count 20 bars rest(not all on video)
- play a fast line on vibes
- switch to drums in 2 bars
- put on snares on snare drum(sometimes I forget...haha)
- watch the conductor
- play some hip hop groove
- play some accents and fill heavily
- break on the last sixteenth of 2nd beat
