I hear some stuff similar to Walt Dickerson. I mean the out playing. The instrument does lend itself to playing a lot of crazy notes. I think when musical players do this it's great.
Can you see the funny thing in the shots when Teddy is playing?

Here's a section on Teddy including David Friedman talking about studying with Teddy.
Teddy quit the business for a long time. He came back towards the end of his life. He seems pretty down in this video.
He quite and did something in the Caribbean with a boat. Giving tours or something like that.
I think he sounds pretty good here.
That's me bringing the vibes to the people at my wedding over the weekend. I did a little version of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" before the first dance. She let me buy a second instrument (M75) last year, so I think she's a keeper!
Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. One of my favorite songs. One of my favorite versions is from Joe with beautiful singing by Kenny Washington. Please check that out if you haven't heard that yet.
Any recommendations for bar cord for a Omega vibe? Had one snap on me the other night and had to use some musser cord which left several bars with a metallic buzz (also just tried some paracord with the same results! The reason for asking is that Malletech wants $36 plus shipping for a set of cords, which sounds a bit pricey! Especially after having one break on an instrument that's just over a year old. I've never had this problem on any instrument in the past 30 years. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate. Thanks!

I've known many good people who discount the relevance of art because it has not been explained to them in a way that they understand. Art is a quest for greatness in all forms. It sets the bar for humanity. It's the best and highest level of accomplishment that humans can achieve or fathom. An artful effort supplies the world with a path toward achievement. An Artful accomplishment offers the world hope of that achievement. Art is not mere entertainment. It is purposeful beyond all other physical things.
Here's Evelen Glennie playing the vibes with a symphony.
I can't figure her out. Not that I have to, but I'm very curious.
First - Check her chops out. Amazing IMHO
Listen to her sound. Amazing. Beautiful!
I'm just not understanding what she does. Listen to the last note of the piece. She's early. Is the conductor supposed to follow her? Does she hear the band? Or feel the vibrations? Was this just a mistake?
