Hey guys, at home today playing the classic standard "Stars Fell On Alabama" with a "four to the bar" groove. I enjoy playing in this style and this is a great tune for that type of groove. I know Tony has posted some great lessons on this topic. It might be helpful to view those lessons and apply what he's talking about to this tune. Feel free to post any questions if you get a chance to try this style out. There are quite a few important and subtle things that help to make it work.

Hello all – I'm sure this topic is not very interesting for those who know that the musician makes the music, (for the most part) but I'm in a position to buy a second vibraphone...(I got approved for 0% – but don't want to go into hugh debt so the budget is tight) do not want to go past 4500 bucks – keeping that in mind.

Knowing that an instrument is a personal choice and most have limited budgets. I will be using this instrument for practice, (most of my practicing is on the second floor with a very tight stairway) special concerts and doing some personal recordings..
