Here's me trying to delve into Mike's world with cell structures and all the rest. The sounds are different for me as well as the approach. It was interesting because things would happen and I would think sounded bad and Mike really dug it…

So I find that dealing with concentration is a major factor in my practicing. How do I stay focused when I play, that's been my topic lately in my mind. HAHAHA that is while I'm playing!! I'm finding that singing or playing drums vocally…

Updated version (voc+vib+dms) Hi ! I posted this tune two days ago, and I took it off after an hour, because it sounded pretty horrible. I had done it in Bb, which is too high for me to sing in , the tempo was too slow and there were 6…

Pay no attention to the bald guy in front of the vibe. -- Just a computer nerd who likes to build stuff from time to time. Enjoy the pictures. By the way keep playing.. The world needs more music.

The beginning. I well used and cared for M-75. The picture makes it look a little better than it was. The paint was flaking in a few places and a few dents and scratches in the wood.
