I think I'll stick with vibe playing. That's hard enough. Here we build a green screen in our house and shot some video. I have to get better at this, but you'll get the idea!

A good friend owns this old Leedy instrument. The pedal is backwards (push to dampen) compared to modern instruments, which makes it a challenge to play. Beautiful sound...weighs a ton! Rusty

I've heard Blackbird covered by so many musicians, including Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau. This arrangement for vibes is not hard to work up and makes a great little piece for a gig or a concert. A downloadable pdf is included.

Here's a short clip of Blue in Green that I recorded on an M55 from 1968 that I picked up last year. It still needs some tweaking here and there with the dampening system, but it's a lot better than what it was. It was in pretty bad shape…
