So, I am on this 70's Rhodes piano kick. Here is another great tune from that era, "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Not_in_Love

I put my new motor on real slow for this one. I wanted a lot of ringing to get that airy feel of the original. I tried dampening the melody while the chords rang.

I like the stereo separation here. Melody on the right, chords on the left.

Wouldn't it be cool to get back to our old tradition: the "Who is" posts?
If you want to know what a "Who is" is and read some of them, they are all here:

So my question today is... but for God's sake who is Babu? Huh? :o)

This is me playing Kai Stensgaard's brilliant "Concerto Mexicana"

The Piece is in Three movements.

The second and third movement can be found here:

A guy calls the local musicians' union to get a quote on a six piece band for a wedding.

The rep says: "Off the top of my head, I'd say about two thousand dollars."

The guy says: "ARE YOU KIDDING? —— FOR MUSIC?!?"

The rep responds…

"Let me suggest that you call the plumbers' union and ask for six plumbers to work from six to midnight on a Saturday night. Whatever they charge you, we'll work for half!"

Here is the link to the interview, please ignore the camera going in and out of focus its an automatic thing, I have put all the info on You Tube with the video. There is background noise but that is unavoidable in these circumstance as there are thousands of people at this fair. Enjoy

I found this clip on youtube introducing a new vibe design called a tri-chromatic vibraphone. The keyboard layout is radically different from anything I've ever seen. Check it out.

Hi Everyone-

Just a quick and hopefully not-too-late notice that my vibes-centric trio is playing in NYC tomorrow night at La Lanterna/the Bar Next Door.
