Sometimes I feel like the scare crow in the Wizard of Oz. Not because I feel I'm missing a brain but because i wish I was a sponge. I want the capability to immediately soak up all the information available for playing vibes. And I want it…

This is a post by Tarik: Another cut from my gig. It's pretty funny because we were subbing for a 13 piece latin band, which explains my little latin stint at the end of the tune. I did tell the audience that they should expect us to try…
