My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

Things aren't always what they look like.
I've posted two links to the workshop forums on the front of the site for convenience. Workshop people should check there for news and also post any questions they have. I'm going to start the ball rolling, with things, just to get to know you guys and get you working on things. So check in often, and put questions there.

I'm thinking of how to celebrate our 2 years anniversary.
Here's what I'm thinking. Let me know what you think:
How about a 20 minute concert from Monday to Saturday, by different members. You could video it or do it live. I'd rather you did it live! It's better for all of us, knowing it's really happening in the moment, (or a moment behind).
Then Saturday, have a Day of the vibraphone. That is from 12 unitil 5 on Saturday we'll have have 40 minute concerts every hour. Until 5.
Tell us! Who are you? How is life and music in your country? Please tell us!!
What a Mo**** F*****. There's no other word to describe that. Well rather, that's that perfect 2 words. I can't believe how he swings. That's what I want to be when I grow up!
I have just returned from Salzau, where I have seen our dear member joe Locke for the fourth time in a row today. I've seen him with Geoffrey Keezer, Terreon Gully and Mike Pope and sharing a stage with Bobby Hutcherson. A year later he played with Jonathan Kreisberg presenting the "Sticks and Strings" repertoire. Last year he played with the "Force of Four" band and in a project called "Percussion Discussion" that featured a tap-dancer - Mr.Chestnut.
I saw a recent subscriber arriving among us... Jean Gigot is from Belgium and speaks French. I have know idea where he comes from and so naturally I wonder... well...
Who is Jean Gigot? Huh?
When I first heard the Steps Ahead album back in the eighties I was floored. Mike took the vibes into brand new territory! I'm a huge fan and today is his birthday so why don't all us VW cats wish him happy birthday.
