Hey everyone,
Here's some info on the December Good Vibes radio program, the first and only broadcast program totally dedicated to the vibraphone (marimba and xylophone included). I've got a minor holiday thing going on for December with Stefon Harris, Christos Rafalides, Randy Sutin, Johnny Lytle, Arturo Serra ("Peace" by Horace Silver and Chick Corea's "Children's Song #9) and two Romanian carols by Alexandru Anastasiu.

Gary Burton and Chick Corea played here in Philly last night with the Brooklyn String Quartet. Of course it was incredible. They opened up with Chick's tune Love Castle, which was very beautiful. They also played the arrangement of Chega off the new album and when it got to Gary's solo, Chick dropped out. Gary played Chega solo vibes, and you could hear the audience freak out a little bit. They also played Hot House, Eleanor Rigby, and a few others off the new album.

Behn 打的是這些和弦進行：

演奏Fmajor7的和聲配置: F-C-E-A
然後Fmajor7 要變成 F minor 7 再接到 Bb7 （ii-v)
最後解決到 Eb major 7 ( i )

再來把Eb major7 變成 Ebm 在接到 Ab7 （ii-v）
最後解決到一級 Db ( i )

Behn如何止音：

第一步驟～
打完F major 7後，用右手同時止掉兩個音，分別是3, 7音，也就是E 和 A 音。
這時候的左手也不能閒下來，右手止音同時左手敲擊Fminor7的3, 7音也就是Eb 和Ab 音。

第二步驟～
接下來要變成Bb7聲響，就得把Eb這個音止掉（右手），同時移低半音敲擊D（左手），
這時候檢查所有還在響的音有F C D Ab

Hey everyone,

A friend of mine is having trouble with an assignment she got in grad school, and I think some of you can help. She has to survey public school music teachers (K-12, not collegiate) from outside the US, but the trouble is she only has two international connections, so she asked me to help.

So...if you or someone you know teaches music in a public school in any country other than the US (including Canada!) and are willing to help, email me at c.stallard22@gmail.com. It's a short survey, I promise! Thanks :)

I'd like to share with you one of the song of the new album of Franck Tortiller orchestra. One of the best french vibist and composer.
Great song. Great vibist.

Question for all you Mallet Kat players out there:

Has anyone found a lightweight soft case for the KAT?

I got the soft wheeled case about 2 months ago. It's great, well made, good design, but the thing by itself weighs close to 20lbs!
