I'm toying around with the idea of doing a TOTM Skype workshop this Saturday. Maybe around noon U.S. EDT?

This would be an experiment. I could handle 3 or 4 people on skype. We could spend an hour working on the tune. Anyone interested?

Just putting feelers out there. Nothing is definite yet. You'd need skype. I'll do video and audio, you don't have to do video on your end.

Well sort of free. I'll give away 2 sets to two people (1 set each) who want to do the following.

I'll be giving away the soft version of the mallets. Great for quiet(er) gigs and practicing.

Do a GOOD report on a living vibe player.
Put up his discography, and get 5 of his latest cds in our amazon section. Gather his important links, youtube vids, tell us something about him. (Don't plagiarize).

I just looked and we're at around 4500 posts. That's if i understand the software correctly. Actually I think it's over 5,000 posts. Man we have come a long way. Thanks to all of us and our love of the instrument and our dedication. I thank you guys for your support of the site.

We must be at about 600 lessons now, I think? Well definitely over 500.

Maybe we should tie in with our partners in the west? I think we could easily pull off an East Coast vibe summit. I could get us a place to play no sweat and get the band. We chip in for food and have a really nice hang.

What do you east coast people think??? I'm just going to need help organizing and setting it up.

Ideas??

Are you guys listening to our next TOTM Fried Bananas?
What tune is it based on?
Who wrote it??
What recordings are you listening to?

Start getting it in your system, it's a good tune.

Let's make this the research page for the tune. See what you can dig up.

I was thinking, we have tons of buried lessons and videos here. So if you can, take a second and find your favorite lesson and put 'Diggin' It Up' in the title.

Let's all wish David a very happy birthday! Besides being a great player he's a great teacher and a very giving vibesworkshop cat! I personally love having him hanging around VW!!

Happy birthday David!

I thought it would be interesting to see what people are working on. Anything cool?

I've been messing around with a four mallet version of Moody's Mood for Love one of my most favorite solos!

can be used once, so it's a gift for the first person who wants to use it in the store.

maybe leave a comment if you take it to use it so others don't waste their time going through all the motions.

i got a few more if this proves to be popular.

Look up top and click shop.
