Somebody shot some vid of a gig I did recently.
THE SOUND SUCKS. I'll post anyway!
What kind of music do you think they're playing? Where are they? Any Ideas
Here is a version of Stella I found in my itunes. NO, it's not me playing, it's Tony ofcourse!
Man another amazing version. I don't think this is on the site here yet, and I hope you don't mind me posting this, Tony?
I think it's great!
Now everyone, transcribe this and play it in 12 keys....haha

Marie -> this one is also from the time Tony and I went to the year 2935!
Here is another video of Manhattan Vibes. I really love this intro he plays on All the Things. Well it's actually a really quick solo version of he whole tune in 7/8.
The rest of the video is more of a compilation of different parts of their concert.
The intro is also on their cd, so check it out. This has been on my transcribe list for a while... maybe I should get to it!

All this talk about Christos Rafalides made me check some stuff on Youtube.
In this video I think Christos really proves the fact that you can se the vibes as the only chordal instrument in a band. He sounds amazing, don't you think?
check him out at 1.36... that always happens to me... stupid glasses...haha

After Joe's story about Mimis Plessas I went to check youtube, and here is a concert I did with a singer in Athens in 2007. Check out Mr. Plessas in the beginning!
We also did a tune with Christos there, I'll see if I can find it.

As some of you know, I work in an association for blind peole. Our neighbour is a school for blind teenagers where I sometimes go to attend "lunch break gigs". So I was really happy when Steve and Gary started talking about blind mallet players!
One of our former Secretary General wrote a book on blind musicians in history. I had a look at it, found no vibist, but the following names in the "Jazz" chapter:
- Jefferson "Blind Lemon": guitar / vocals (blues)
- Terry Saunders Teddell "Sonny": harmonica / vocals (blues)
