Today's coffee hour conversation touched down on this twice, once during the discussion of mallet hardness (pretty universal agreement that music not heard is music not good) and again during the discussion about the role of lyrics. These are concepts I have been wrestling with for years and my ideas are not yet fully formed, but let me know what you think~

I believe there are four modalities of the sound we create with our instruments.

Our pop-up class for VW subscribers will take place June 3rd - 2pm EDT

We will study 'Have You Met Miss Jones'.

The follow up class we will stream and some of you guys will play the tune in 'Virtual Public'.

If you don't do that I would like for you to record something and post it on Vibesworkshop. Just to make us do a final goal!

You have to be a subscriber to take this class.

To register just click here and send me an email.

If you have reserved your spot in the bootcamp, please make sure you contact me if I haven't already sent the classroom sign in information.

Once in the classroom you will see materials AND codes for the streaming of the meetings.

Please download zoom. Try not to use it on the web, download the app.

See you soon!

Just got off the phone with a few vibesworkshop members and we had a great time studying Green Dolphin Street!

Our goals are to make a solo version in C and then Eb and then we will do a facebook concert where we each play a version of Green Dolphin Street.

I'm trying to get organized here, but it's not easy for me. Since the quarantine I have been busier than I've ever been. Being online is more work than being offline!

But I would like to see which subscribers want to meet up once or twice a month and play and talk about stuff.

Here's the thing, you have to have good bandwidth, decent audio and decent video.

There are ways to do it. And I will help any subscriber that has questions.

Post your question on the site here as a blog. I will try and answer and make a book in the vbooks sectdion.

Scroll through the wall on this page. There are some great solo performances on this page of great players.

Just want to mention again without making a big to do about it. Sculptors have to make sculpture. Painters make paintings.
We make music. So the question is are you making music?

Imagine knowing a sculptor who says they are a sculptor and have been doing it for 10 years and you ask to see something and they say they haven’t made anything but they’re working on it.

Practicing is preparing to make music. Recording yourself or playing a concert I think is making music.

Malletech LN2R Mallet review - you should get some!

Since my wife and I first moved into the same Brooklyn loft apartment in 1993 I have either been blissfully ignorant or hyper-aware of the sound of my vibraphone practicing and how it affects the people around me. Luckily, for my wife and eldest son, I didn't play much music for about 8 years and consequently they didn't have to listen to it while they were trying to get their well deserved sleep at the end of the day.

No one to talk with ....all by myself...
No one to walk with...not riskin nobody's health
Corona Virus...keepin away from you

I don't stay out late...where could I go
Not such a hot date... just beer and a TV show
Corona Virus....keepin away from you....

I'm a hermit ...with no permit....
To leave my cave ... freedom I crave
But your health ... keeps me stayin away .. to..day

I'm nearly certain... that this will end
The day will come...when I'll greet my old friends again
Corona Virus ...keepin away from you .. and you...and you.
