Had a few people email me recently about moving vibes.

The Rock and Roller Cart

My Rock and Roller

Get the Rock and Roller with the 4 big wheels. Not air tires but they have other soft tires that are great.

I still haven't seen this one myself. I know one of the resonator demonstrations I wanted to include didn't record well so it was edited out. I'll get a better one next time.

It's so funny how Tony and I work on the same things 3000 miles apart without talking about it. I was inspired by our LONG, somewhat heated discussion about swinging using double-or alternate sticking. I ALSO love to practice solo playing, concentrating on the time and SWINGING! I ALSO do many takes, waiting for something decent that I can identify with to some extent. These are bebop-like changes from a piece written by a Norwegian guitar I play with occasionally. He LOVES bebop and playing fast tempos. But I listened to Tony and tried to play a "grown up" tempo.

Sea Journey by Chick Corea - I remember hearing this great song way back when I was a student at Berklee. It was on Chick's solo album titled Piano Improvisations released in the 70s by ECM. It had a major impact. I was playing the album today and it still sounds fresh. The track is listed as Song For Sally on the album. I also vividly recall Gary Burton playing this with his band in the 70s. Seeing Gary play this also had a major impact. I remember sitting front row (every night he was there) about 5 feet away from the vibes with my Superscope cassette player under the seat. Ha!Ha!
