Hey Everybody,

Recently we had the pleasure of Gloria Krolak amongst our membership. She has an fm radio show online that features all vibes and marimba players. I think it is mostly vibes. Anyway, she gave us some info in a post about her show, which happened to be tonight (Sunday) and Wednesday. I listened in and sure enough her show is a treat.

Everybody eating lunch after the first workshop.

There's a great bunch of players from the Delaware workshop! And here they say hello!

- John Daly,
- Behn Gellice,
- Gilbranimo,
- Alan Watt (amazing Alan from this year Ireland workshop!),
- Jinwoo (our Korea very silent member!)

A few others would follow soon, like:

Hello everyone - as so many people liked our duo version of afro blue,I posted as an audio a few weeks ago - here is the video that proves I really played myself! Check out the new HugoBoss ultraslimline redshirt : )

This is a basic arrangement for vibes or marimba of the popular jazz standard "Afternoon in Paris". It demonstrates a couple different ways to accompany a melody - using a counter line or a block chord. It also employs a simple pedal point for the left hand during the bridge.

A PDF of the arrangement can be downloaded HERE. So print down a copy and try it out!

hi!

I just realised that the vibes have one more advantage beside the cool sound, the cool attitude, the excluiveness and the fact that vibesplayers get all the chicks: you can play it with a baby wrap! no way of doing this with a guitar!

So folks get youself a set of vibes - the chick and eventually an offsping might follow BUT you can still play!

Cheers Stefan

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd throw something up here from my end of semester recital in June this year.

Basically the deal with it was you choose 3 tunes walk in and play with a staff rhythm section, so its kind of like a fill in gig simulation.

Would love to hear some feedback :)

Check out 13 year old guitarist Andreas Varady. He's amazing.

Hang for the whole vid if you can, because the second tune we do is Giant Steps and he tears it up!

Earlier this year my wife decided that it was time to get a master's degree so we sat down and looked at a few places. We visited the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. The faculty that evaluated her audition were gracious enough to admit her into the program. She is a great player!

Last week we made the epic road trip from Muncie, IN to Vancouver, BC. I've been emailing people in the area about finding a job, playing gigs, and teaching gigs.
