Just a quick note, January 4th and 5th we are having the first official Vibe Congress.

This will take place at the Malletech factory in Asbury Park and will be free. It's at the Malletech factory because Malletech has agreed to host the workshop for free.

No Sales Pitches! We're not having this at Malletech so they can sell you an instrument. We chose Malletech because it's FREE and central on the east coast. Hotels will be very cheap.

We will have Musser and Yamaha Vibes there as well!

There comes November… and its new TOTM: Alone Together! We started with great lessons and etudes. So join us!

Today we learned the passing of Angelo J. Vaglio. He must have been 95 or 96 years old but he kept playing nearly till this end and was an honourable member of our community. We dedicate this newsletter to him and will keep up vibing in his memory.

LESSONS:

* Tony Miceli:

- TOTM – Summertime – Can you Hear the Tune? www.vibesworkshop.com/node/9525/
- TOTM – Wave – Etude: www.vibesworkshop.com/node/9528/

Most of us know who Angelo is. He was probably one of the oldest working vibes players in the world. There are a whole bunch of videos up here I think of him playing, it's not there on YouTube.

He was a really nice guy, totally into the Vibraphone, and that age 93 was working 3 to 5 days a week.

So it's pretty sad to report that Angelo died last night, but he did have a really long and active life!

To go along with our TOTM
