I try to take walks every day, partly to listen to music and mostly because I'm out of shape and overweight!
I think I posted once before about this and I think posted about a Friedman CD. Hmmm, I came home today and wanted to post about…
There would be so much to say about Tony Miceli…
Hmm... sure he’s not (yet) a super star. Not a top model. He readily and openly describes himself as a little overweight and sometimes even a bit tactless. He only has his little basement…
So August 1st we are one year old here at www.vibesworkshop.com. I've been looking around the site thinking about how far it's gone and all the friends here that I've made.
The friend part is incredible to me. I just can't believe how many…
In case you din't no, my spelling and gramar are prety bad. Most of the tim it's bcause, I'm tiping vury late at nite and I'm sew tred. I dn't prof reed enuf. I apologise. I get pretty eksited wen I do a lsson or atude.

I posted this etude. (See Check this out).
I put a link to it above so if you reply to this page it will keep it in the classroom.
Check out the etude. We talked about this in the workshop.
In other words if you come back to this page and…
A good friend of mine is studying the tune Black Orpheus. He asked me to to come up with a little etude to help him work on the tune. So here it is.
Again I left the chords out. You should put them in and then study the changes and what's…
I just got all excited because I counted 560 Lesson on this site. It's a rough count, but even at 500, that's amazing. I really think there's 3 or 4 years of study here now!
I'm really excited because our first 'classroom' is up and running.
I love working on music and playing. I used to go to my mentor Steve Giordano's house once or twice a week and we'd play from 9 at night until 5 in the morning. Sometimes…
I definitely don't want to play with him when he's 15!
What's really cool is he didn't know how to play 4s and was just learning on the gig right there. But this is a little Gary Burton on Guitar.
Remember he's 11 years old.
I just got the update to Band-in-a-Box. First impression is that it is really cool (as if it wasn't already cool). As usual, you enter the chord changes and BIAB automagically generates an accompaniment of bass, drums, piano, guitar,…
I'm sure it's no suprise to any of you that I'm not too cool with holidays, especially birthdays.
But now that I have all these friends and have to run this site, I decided to be cool. And as an exercise I thought I would thank everyone…
Hey Guys! I had such a great time with you all!
I'll be setting up the classroom very soon. So the workshop is not over yet!
I'll post again when the classroom is set up.
Hey everybody,
I've not met a lot of you, but this may be a chance for those in/near Philly. My "Combo" from the US Naval Academy Band is playing Rose Tree Park (near Media PA) on Wednesday July 1st at 730pm. I hope some of you can make…
OK, this is the morning after the incredible hectic workshop weekend.
Got out of bed 3.30 this morning as I promissed Tony and Sharon to get them to the Airport. After that back to sleep for a few hours and then off to the factory.
We're…
I'm actually excited for Thursday and to go to Nico's toy shop. A buddy or mine was in New York recently and was at a studio. He emailed me and said he played this instrument and it was so beautiful. It was a VP. He said he was mesmerized…
Dimitri is an up and coming vibe player from Greece! He was complaining about playing in clubs and being heard...... An then he played Nico's Evibe and his problem was solved. Well that problem was solved and then a new one appeared. Now…
