Guys,
I've been given this link by my guitarist friend Bernard after I shared the recent Clark Terry vid... This French band is too good!! FYI, on xylphone vibist Jean-Miche Davis. (pass it on! :o)
Enjoy!

Guys,
As we were talking about (and hearing) some accordion, I came across this... wow!!

I saw a handbell player this weekend at a local art fest. I saw she had mallets and asked for a demo. I didn't know that handbells could be played with mallets.
The thing that interested me was that they can ring out when they are laying down on the table. She showed me that under the cloth was a thick foam cushion. This allowed some ringing, but with some dampening to shorten the ring duration.

In my town there is a special fiest for Children one week end per year. A giant firework on Friday night, all kinds of shows around the place, and in a park tons of games, sports, manual activities, actors in costums on stilts etc...
It's this week end a we are back from our little tour in the park. And there we saw a good dozen of amazing giant instruments, each one more nuts than its neighbour! (old saucepans as drums, weird huge wheel full of plastic bottle corks, other strange recycled percussions, etc...)
Speechless...
This aria was the entrance piece for my wedding (the original one I mean)...
That was 12 years. Today I listen to this video, and everything is suddenly emerging from deep inside: my satin dress, the veil on my face, my father's arm, our steps on the central lane of the church, full of people who had seen me running there as a little girl, and behind us my very impressed Bruno at the arm of his mother...
Jeez... I had never seen it that clear before Bobby sang it back 'to me'... this man must be an angel...
Words being wholly inadequate
Music is the language of the spirit
Between the notes
The greatest impact
Reflection, time, color
Silence is played
Stewards of passion
The spirit alive and well
Words being wholly inadequate
Music is the language of the spirit
Un video interesante con marimba y theramin. Un theramin se utilizó en el tema de Star Trek original. Pongo una foto de un músico theramin tambien.
