I've been emailing with magicescalator and talking with him. We were talking about how he came to the instrument and more. So I thought we'd do a Who Is so you guys could meet him.

magicescalator, just add a new comment here and tell about yourself. If you're shy, Marie will give you some encouragement. She's our host!

I've been working on this tune for a couple days. Last night I had a chance to play it on a gig. I decided to go ahead to record and then post it to see what kind of feedback y'all might send my direction. I hope you all dig it!

Cop It!

Dana and I have been talking about chordal playing. Listen to this. See if you can listen to it and see that conceptually the way Bill Evans is playing would totally lend itself to the vibes.

Hey we're going to have an open house August 5th at the workshop at the University of Delaware. It will start at 2 and go untiil about 8 or 9. You can listen to a David Friedman workshop and then we'll have a little performance later in the evening after dinner.

Who wants to come and hang?

August 6th in the evening will be our final concert so we hope you can come or come back for that.

I just them 5 minutes ago and thought I should post.

I love these mallets. Brings out the highs, but not overbearing. Feel is great. Works with my light touch.
