Everything Else

Hi Gary,

Do you know if the book that you wrote, "A Musician's Guide to the Road" is still available? It's an excellent book and valuable reading for vibists and musicians in general in learning how to deal with travelling and being on the road when touring. I have the book from many years ago. It's also fun reading since there are many interesting stories from your experiences being on the road all of these years.

I haven't said anything on here in awhile, but I would hate myself if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity, for me, of a lifetime. With having the legendary Gary Burton here, Tony, you must be beside yourself. All these great players in one cyberplace.

HI,
I am writing a dissertation for my degree about the vibes.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any information of the history of the development of the vibraphone, and also if possible the physics and synthesis behind the sound.
Thank you everyone

This is an interesting site of LA studio musician and percussionist Gary Coleman (not the "Whatchoo talkin' about, Willis?" Gary Coleman of "Different Strokes"), but a well-known, at least to me, artist who has performed on hundreds of films, tv programs and records. Gary is the father of Lisa Coleman of the duo Wendy and Lisa. Wendy and Lisa played guitar and keyboards respectively, with Prince back in the 80's. Wendy is Wendy Melvoin, daughter of pianist Mike Melvoin.

Hi All,
Today, Monday, I am on a clear liquid diet. Tomorrow is the big day. I will be off the board probably for a day and a half and then I will be back. When I come back, that means I am alive and well (automatically). It has been a long ordeal and finally I can get this last medical problem past me.
Be talking to you in two.
