Most of the tunes I try to write end up in the waste basket but this one avoided that fate and ended up on a CD I made a couple of years ago. Slow and bluesy, the melody in the bridge is similar to a tune by David Frishberg called "Blizzard of Lies". I decided on the title, "Secrets and Lies" party because of the similarities to David's tune.

The pianist is my good buddy Laura Klein.

This is incredible. Check out this frame. You take the legs off your old vibes and put your keybed on this inexpensive frame. I think this is going to cost around $400 or less.

Perfect for beat up instruments and beat up instruments in colleges!

A simple tip that will help expand language on a half diminished chord.

Look what I found on vibist Chuck Redd's Face Book's profile!! :o)

Chuck's comment was: "Battling it out with Terry at the Arbors festival! No serious injuries - just fun!!" Haha!! What a great picture! It reminds me of his "battle" with Terry Pollard on that terrific video back in the day! As to confirm nothing has changed! ;-)

As Chuck nicely allowed me to post this picture he added: "Terry is 87 and going strong - He's an inspiration!"

Wow!! Respect! :o)
