Hi Gary,
Do you know if the book that you wrote, "A Musician's Guide to the Road" is still available? It's an excellent book and valuable reading for vibists and musicians in general in learning how to deal with travelling and being on the road when touring. I have the book from many years ago. It's also fun reading since there are many interesting stories from your experiences being on the road all of these years.
Some late night thoughs about practicing, and time and not time.
Post any questions for Mario (Alternate Mode) below.

This is a pretty big marimba group! I can't imagine anything like this today with young students! - Tony Miceli
I'm sure someone out there has done some research on classic vibraphones, maybe even with some pictures. I kind of know the basic history of the instrument (actually Wikipedia has a surprisingly thorough vibraphone history...I would love to know who posted it). But, in particular, there are some legendary vibraphone designs that I have always been curious about. One was known as the Deagan Imperial. Milt Jackson played the Imperial for many years, the first half of his career.
