What's great about a workshop, I'm realizing is the concentration of it all. Everybody is out of their environment and together for one reason and that's to talk about the vibes. That was the last four days. Everybody made progress in those four days. They took shifts in the school at night practicing on the 2 Premieres and the Musser (Nico, get VPB to Ireland). We all worked hard, everyone was so cool and supportive.
This has been a great week for me. The 7 vibe players here taking the workshop are great guys and love playing the vibes. So we've been getting into some great discussions about how to learn tunes, playing melodies, separating the parts of the, i.e., the melody, the chords and then the chord melody.
Let's all wish Barryk a happy birthday. Besides being the first subscriber on the site Barryk is one of the nicest guys you could every meet! And he's a hard worker and loves practicing and playing the vibes!
We were working on some modal ideas!

Come check out the vibe hang Wednesday night. It will be the culmination of the 4 day workshop in Limerick. So hopefully all the cats will stick around and play. We'll have a rhythm section there as well as (I hope) a special guest. A local vibe player who plays great. He's also lending us his vibes for the week!
