Here's the introduction of me at a dutch TV show I played in recently.

I'll post my (1 minute!) version of Recordame next...

I finally figured out how to record straight to mp3 on my portable recorder so I don't have to convert files to post!

Here is a taste of my gig from today playing songs for a civil engineer's society holiday party.

"My Favorite Things"
"Christmas Time Is Here"
"Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"
"The Christmas Song"

p.s. The recorder was sitting on top of the amp.

Friedman Etude! Insult my playing!

Another Friedman etude! Criticism (constructive and otherwise) is not only accepted, but encouraged. Thanks!

As you may know, I have a Premier 751, freshly restored by my husband. Still we had parts to change, advice to get for this very first time. John Daly got me a great address: Orchestral Percussion.

I’d like to introduce this one man company: Paul Jefferies has been of great help, advice and got me some lost parts. He's surely not the only one, but he's a true vibes geek… and who knows he may some day save your instrument?

For those interested in gig bags for your vibraphone, here's some info.......In 2007, I had Peter at the Mooradian Co., Boston, MA, make custom bags for the Musser M55. I provided the dimensions. One bag, with a padded divider, carries the resonators. The other bag carries the frame and pedal bar assembly. Both have carrying handles and shoulder straps. The bags are very durable and have plenty of room to store other items like my mallets, and misc. supplies. At the time they cost about $450.00 - Definitely worth the investment!

This is a very special post to me. Its story is beautiful! Dana wrote this lovely Christmas song a few years ago (lyrics included) and recorded it with a singer and pianist. Last July, he invited me to do a new version on vocals. I was much honored by his proposal and we agreed to work on it for this Christmas.

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that Good Vibes rebroadcasts this Wednesday December 8, 4-6pm eastern US time. I am honored that it will also air on Christmas Day at 2:00. Special Xmas Day treat at the very end: Dana Sudborough playing "Carol of the Bells" with his septet (Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana, etc.) Thanks for your permission, Dana!
