Vibraphone

Let's build our list of the blues! Here's mine to start!

Thought this might be interesting. Getting the old guys to give advice to the young guys who are heading off to college.

Mine:

Be very open minded and humble.

Don't get too involved with drugs and booze, that will take away from the music in the end.

Practice your asses off. That's the only way I know to get good.

Ask questions and study with lots of different people (even if your teacher doesn't dig it). have your main guy but man get different points of views.

Any other advice from old cats to young cats???

I played a club last night where lots of old rock bands from the 60's and 70's are now playing! Full circle for them, huh?? Was a big club, but not a stadium!

I used to be a big fan of a band called 'The Tubes'. JEEEEZ, I youtubed them and I couldn't believe I used to dig them. I can't for the life of me remember why I did. Maybe I need to check out the album. But man, I don't dig them now. I must be missing something I had back then. I noticed they were pretty 'theatrical'. Maybe that was it. I'm missing something.

hi

"arturo serra standards session II cd" in newsteprecords label

BTW - anyone can start the vibe diary. I personally think it's pretty cool for someone to start talking about what they're doing and then all the rest of us join in.

I was glad to finally have a day where I don't have to practice other peoples music. i do have a session tomorrow but the music is not that tough. And I do do a bunch of gigs with Diane Monroe, but I think I got a handle on all that!! We will see.

Man I missed a brunch gig today. I knew I put the gig into Google calendar, I remember checking the time with the cat and checking my next gig after it today. I remember putting the date in the calendar.

I wasn't there and I missed the damn gig! Now I'm freaked out. Do I go back to paper? Could I have done something weird and deleted it?? What a mess. I'm going to pay the bass player what he was going to make today.

September is here and we are eager to tie in with colleges. I think with technology we could do some really great things!

We work with the University of Delaware doing some things with their percussion department. We are in their syllabus. Students subscribe to the site and work with the material. And we'd like to build on that!

As part of the University of Delaware subscription I come out and do a clinic (included) and we also do a vibe hang from the school.

It has been ages since I posted any in the blog: last months have been enormously busy but ended with a nice holidaytrip to Scotland.

With the added new cnc-machinery and after quite some programming we were able to speed up the building process of the gigVibe models. Was really needed cause due to the developping of the carbonVibe the delivery time of the gigVibe increased a lot. Luckily we're blessed with understanding and very patient customers.
We're now finalizing the gigVibes for the last couple of them, among which a very nice 3.5 octaves with midi.

Man I love playing duets with David!!
