I've decided to move the Philly workshop to my home.

I'm planning a great week from July 10-14 (I can even do something on the 9th If people come in early)

It's really getting impossible to do independent workshops at Universities unless you're bringing in 100 students. The red tape, background checks etc., forms are unbelievable! You need a team of 2 or 3 people to pull all this off.

Here's a whole section on scales. Very complete! Between Behn and myself it has lots of ideas and explanations to you help with chords and scales and improvising!

Beautiful playing by Ed Smith!

Can you see the funny thing in the shots when Teddy is playing?

Here's a section on Teddy including David Friedman talking about studying with Teddy.

Teddy quit the business for a long time. He came back towards the end of his life. He seems pretty down in this video.
He quite and did something in the Caribbean with a boat. Giving tours or something like that.

I think he sounds pretty good here.

Any recommendations for bar cord for a Omega vibe? Had one snap on me the other night and had to use some musser cord which left several bars with a metallic buzz (also just tried some paracord with the same results! The reason for asking is that Malletech wants $36 plus shipping for a set of cords, which sounds a bit pricey! Especially after having one break on an instrument that's just over a year old. I've never had this problem on any instrument in the past 30 years. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate. Thanks!

Post your mini concerts for Feb. 25th, 2017 below. Put the links in, I'll embed the videos.

I LOVE MINI concerts. They are for everyone to participate and it's a virtual way of coming together. I like this as much as doing a concert in a theatre. I'm pretty shy and introverted but this is such a cool community thing that I just love seeing everybody play.

Just came across some video with Buddy's son? Relative? Not sure. But the video is interesting!!! He talks about the Mastersounds.
