I own a set of Joe Locke crossover mallets. These are great sticks if you're looking for a big sound without the real clang of hard mallets. Unfortunately, my stick have come unwrapped twice now. And I don't mean the yarn broke, but it literally just fell off the stick. Mike Balter rewrapped them for me the first time for no cost, and now he's replacing the set of mallets as a whole for a new set at no cost. There's a reason vibe players love Mike; he's straight forward, down to earth, he gets musicians, he's reasonable, and let's face it: he makes the best sticks!

Hi all,

I just thought about making a little reminder/suggestion to help our TOTMs be clear, fun, organised, and of course easy to get back to, after we switched to the next tune :

TOTMs are first of all lessons from Tony, Behn and/or a few other guys. You will always find back all these posts in the V-BOOKS, into the "Lesson and Technic" section, under the TOTM subsection, and put together by tune (as you may guess it's not done automatically and requires a close follow up and a little work).

Darn that Dream!! Tony and Behn are getting "out of control" posting so many great lessons to study this beautiful tune from all its aspect! Come and join us! If you’re not a subscriber, don’t miss our "Lesson of the Month" accessible for all members for a few weeks! And as usual testimonies, discussions, info on gears, announcements, projects, and musical posts from some of our members. Don’t forget tomorrow Sunday, is Gloria’s 3rd anniversary of her great 100% good vibes radio show!

* Tony Miceli:

It's pretty interesting doing a Kickstarter Campaign. It's interesting partly because of the feedback from other musicians. Some like it, some are indifferent and some are very negative about it. Our lead singer was on a gig recently and a musician was yelling at him about our Kickstarter campaign.

Check this out!

hey,

i borrowed a neumann tlm 49 mic by a friend and checked it out in my new studio yesterday.
what you hear is 75% of the neumann in the middle + my akg2000b as side mics. in the mix i used some reverb, a little bit compression but almost no eq.

There's 2 weeks a year, where I just can't keep up. This is them. Between spring gigs, teaching rehearsing, I fall behind on vibesworkhop. But it's over soon and I have a bunch of lessons based on Darn That Dream, so we'll keep it going for a bit. That means Behn has to thinking of stuff! He's been posting a lot.

That's life, huh? Better to be busy then not! I leave a blog like this every spring semester every year and here it is!! But I'm almost done!
