I discover the route to happy land, but it's via a marimba and a company that's no longer in business.
-- Just my luck...
Hi again,
Another little tune... that you will at least all know and understand! My guitarist friend Bernard... and my son joining us for some fun and swing!
This version was recorded home (the live version in the church has a bit too much feed back to sound good).
Enjoy,
Marie
Dear all,
It seems to me like ages... life has kept me soooo busy, that I couldn't follow up all the great posts, efforts, music pieces, comments, encouragements, actions to promote our dear instrument. It feels no good inside, but "that's life".
This year again I finally could play at "Music Day" June 21st in my father's church, with my guitarist friend Bernard, and for one tune my son Florian joining... but no vibes this year... only my voice was "available" to bring the emotions.
In this etude, I have played the melody first. In the next chorus, the etude portion is a series of lines for soloing that I've taken from the melody. Compare the second chorus to the first.
When you learn bebop tunes, try to change around the lines as much as you can to create your own lines. Also, check for spots where you can start a line on a different beat; that really helps to find new rhythmic momentum. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it.
Ha ha ha ha. Sorry I thought of the corniest title I could think of. It's not the way I think, however.....
3 people at concerts recently have come up to me and said how lucky I was to have been given this gift. Let's dissect this from my point of view.
It's funny because after a bunch of concerts I'm thinking, wow, I sucked! Then someone comes up and says something about a gift!!! :-)
This is our great Summer Workshop in Ireland so last chance for anyone who wants to come to Limerick for these 5 days to learn and meet other vibe players from around the world. Its going to be great.
