Ceora has such an optimistic, joyous melody. It was a staple in my repertoire at the hundreds of solo gigs I did at local eateries here in the world class wine country north of San Francisco.
I'm sure this tune has been a TOTM at one time or another. It's one of those that you never get tired of and again and again.
Check out a great collaboration between American and Greek musicians creating something unique.
Hello to everybody:

So....
I was chatting in the shout box about sight reading subscriber Bob Adler. We briefly talked about sight reading. So I thought I'd start a post about sight reading.
I'm not a great reader but I can manage. First I put the music stand slanted and level with the instrument. This is so I can use peripheral vision to see the notes.
Enjoy !
How are you? I am thinking of selling or exchanging my M55 vibraphone with the traveler model because I travel a lot and I need a more portable instrument. It is in very good condition. If anyone is interesting in this please email me:

I live in Greece.
Thanks!

Mark Carlsen on upright bass and myself on vibes playing at Li's Asian restaurant in Haverhill, MA this past Saturday. Fun gig playing and hanging with Mark. We've been playing these kinds of duo gigs for a long time. It's always a fun night playing tunes and hanging with family and friends on the breaks. Sometimes I like these gigs more than a concert. The music is loose, you can try things and experiment/stretch. As long as we can play what we want and no one bothers us, I'm happy.
