I'm working something out with Gary Burton. I think he's willing to autograph a bunch of books for VW members! You know his new autobiography is coming out soon. Well I asked him if we could have some collectors vibesworkshop books!
I'll send out an email soon with a link to paypal. the book will cost the same amount and Gary will sign it and his office will mail it to you guys.
What do you think? I think that's pretty cool, huh?

Thanks Gary for taking the time to share your singular experiences, I have always appreciated your wisdom and clear and insightful use of analogy and metaphor and your gift for expression in both words and music. It will be so interesting to hear more of the story.
that's great.

Very cool Tony. Please count me in. Always enjoy Gary's writings. Very engaging. I really liked his book about road travel for musicians. It had a lot of great stories in there as well as valuable tips for musicians while on the road. Ed

I got my book the other day and finished reading it last night. Thanks again for setting this up for us, Tony. I really enjoyed reading it, and learned a lot plus one new resolution - I promise never to complain about bandleaders again after reading what Gary went through working for Stan Getz.
I'm glad this worked out! i

Hey Thanks Gary and Tony for setting this up. What a great way to get a book:Autographed and personalized, and what a fascinating read. On the one level it is great to read this book as a vibes player, on another level it is just as fascinating to read the story of someone trying to fit into this weird macho jazz scene from such a different angle. Thanks again

i love the book. almost done. and it's great to read! i think though it could have used some more sex scenes, hot tubs, leather chaps and gossip! (just kidding!) [kind of]
Great Book

Loved the book, couldn't put it down. I'd love to know more about "A Genuine tong Funeral", my first vibraphone record, I loved the cover art you picked. thanks
Thanks Tony and Gary!

The book arrived during the week, I've been dipping into it and it's very well written, very entertaining and also very interesting too! It makes a lot of sense in understanding the legend that is GB.
Received the book

Thanks Gary and Tony,
I haven't started yet. There is another book I'm really looking forward to read first.
But I'll keep you posted when I read it.
Greetings,
Stefan.
