Anyone that comes from a dysfunctional family (all of us??) and has had therapy, knows this. For the next few weeks, don't make any major decisions, put them off. If you could hold off until spring that's great. Whatever you do for the next several weeks... chill.

This is not the time to quit playing the vibes, or leave your wife (or husband) to pursue life as a starving vibe player!

This is Christmas time, and it's pulling a bunch of us down.

In my other life (firefighting), my Lt. or Captain often asks at the end of the shift. "Did anyone learn anything today" then we'll go down the roster and answer, stating what each of us learned that shift and how we could do it better next time.

I thought it would be interesting to post what we have learned this year by visiting www.vibesworkshop.com

Maybe Nico will talk a little about this?

Here are a bunch of lessons on licks. There's also a lot of talk about licks on this site, players have different opinions of them as you'll see if you look around.

All about playing solo!

This is a series of ideas, ways and techniques for you to consider when playing solo.

This is really open to other faculty and other pro players on the site. I'd love to get something from some of these other amazing players and put together a comprehensive series on solo playing!!!

Under ALL LESSONS are some examples of people playing solo. (If I've missed anything please let me know).

Then there are lessons specific to each players level.

we analyzed a tune last night online, don't think you were there. i actually meant to email you and forgot.

anyway, i'm thinking of doing it again and doing Green Dolphin Street.

also, i'm around if you want to get together this week. and i'll also do that duet.
