sorry marie, i couldn´t resist to post this one first...i hope you don´t mind...but this for me is really lovely, because it shows all the passion you have for the vibes and for meeting us all. can´t tell you how much pleasure it was for me meeting you (beside all the others of course!).

hope to see you real soon.

p.s i only shot one picture during the whole workshop...and that´s this

Watch this pic... thousands of hours of work, again and again... to that point of perfection... Amazing!

Tony and the 12 keys golden rule! Ya'd better know them all! Huh John? :o)

What a bunch of cool vibists!! :o)

I'm so glad that our site 'mother' came to visit us at Nico's. Here's her and David playing Summertime.

Marie was watching David play and she said, he's a 'maniac' isn't he. That's a term we have for someone who just practices and plays all day and night. We asked him and David said he's always on the instrument always playing it. That's what it feels like when you talk to him and listen to him, that he's working on this thing like he was when he was 20.

They sound really great together. And I think they both became great friends in a day!

What a down to Earth, hip guy Friedman is. It's really great. At this workshop he's just one of the guys. He's just like another buddy. However, when he teaches I'm amazed at how much he can draw out of someone in a few simple minutes. That blew me away. He'd get someone up there, make a couple comments and bam they'd be making music together.

What a treat, getting to jam with Friedman!

Me and Marie once again on the site at the same time, but finally we're in the same room. The site would not be as cool as it is without Marie. It's funny the most important person on the site doesn't play the instrument AND knows as much about it as anyone!

Getting to jam with David Friedman. Really cool.
