Hi Everyone-
Haven't been by for awhile, and sorry to stick my head back in to fish for technical info, but I'm needing to know:
Anybody got dimensions on the flight cases for the M48? I own a set, but they're in storage, and someone I…
We’ve had news from Tom Marcello of the upcoming CD Joe Locke will release on Jan. 26th. But I don’t think any info was posted here about his brand new website, of course designed by the talented Nadja Von Massow: http://www.joelocke.com…
Man I do a lot of vibe talking because of this site. It's pretty incredible and sort of a dream come true. We live pretty isolated lives don't we?

I am working on "Be Thou With Me" that Ted Wolff posted (above link). This is a work-in-progress.
This song is written with mainly 3 voices (though there are a couple of 4 note chords). Each voice should ideally be played with the note…
This etude is simple, but if it's new to you it will open up doors in your playing.
Rotate sticks 1 and 3 and then 2 and 4 with the double stops.
You're harmonizing your solo with one note. It's interesting, I think it's fun to listen to…
Hello Vibes Workshop,
Here is one video performance of "Beautiful Love" with my former band "Light Motif" in Grenoble (city in France in the Alps).
Sorry for the bad sound, the talking audience and the "dancing" girl !! :)
