Why don't you write an etude for the book?
We need an etude, a youtube video of you playing the etude well and a description.

This is part of the Open Source Dampening and Pedaling book. This is free for all to use. It's a beautiful etude.

Remember I think this:

Most of the time we play solo, we are doing solo playing :-). Doing it right and in time can really help you.

In the online meeting a week or so ago, David played a Red Norvo video and, when talking about it said, "I don't know why nobody has ever transcribed this solo.."

That was enough motivation for me. :)

To my ears, even though this was performed/recorded in 1960, it is an excellent example of the crossover point between ragtime and jazz. So much of what Red plays, from his low to the keyboard mallet technique to his linear construction, is reminiscent of the George Hamilton Green studies. Sometimes literally... check out measures 208-209.

We had a great discussion in the Sunday Vibes Coffee House meeting last week on wrapping mallets.

One of the members, Brett, talked about how he wraps mallets. He included this article about wrapping mallets.

He also talked about hemp yarn and how strong it is. How long it lasts.

Here is the article he talked about.
