Our next TOTM. Cool changes on this tune!
Ok... so the saga continues. For the last week or so, I have been using my modified damper bar that I rebuilt for my M48 on my newly aquired 1949 vintage M75 just because I prefer the way it plays and sounds to the standard Musser damper bar.
WARNING: if you are not a TRUE vibes geek, this will be boring. :) If you are, please join my journey.
So, about 6 months ago, I owned two sets of vibes. One a Musser M55 from 1977 and the other an M48 from around 1987. I bought the M48 when I lost my car in a spat of poverty and had to find a way to get to gigs in smaller vehicles because my big car died and I couldn't afford a new one. Never really liked it that much because of how its damper got out of adjustment every time I moved it, but I appreciated how it got me through that time in my life.
Announcing our 2013 summer workshop in Limerick, Ireland. This is a very affordable workshop at the Peter Dee Academy in Limerick. There are practice rooms, pianos and vibraphones. This is a very intense 5 day workshop.
Hope some of you guys can come!!!

Just a heads up. We are working hard behind the scenes. We are working on getting the videos to show on iphones, finally! The cool thing is we're working on a new layout that display on any device. From a small phone to a desktop computer.
That's really exciting because that means you watch lessons and study on your phone.
I'll keep you posted. We have a developers version of the site up and when it gets a little closer, I'll send you guys the link.
Hi VW-User,
Anyone want to skype and go over the changes to Satin Doll. We would focus on Just that. So you'd have to have the changes memorized.
We would do this on Skype.
Anyone interested?

This month of February has been very rich with experiences! First our winter workshop took place in Germany. All first archives bellow. Then we finished our great lesson series with How Deep Is The Ocean and switched to our new Tune Of The Month: Satin Doll! Then a few of us participated in our very first online skype lesson with Tony. All testimonies in the discussion section… and more! Enjoy!
Oh what a night!
Tonight I did something I never thought I would do: I drove 45 minutes to a jazz club to sit in with pro musicians I barely know who've been playing longer than I've been alive. Wow...I will admit I almost chickened out, but I'm glad didn't!
Happy Birthday to David Friedman!
