ONE IMPORTANT NOTE:

DUESSELDORF AIRPORT (WEEZE) IS ABOUT 1 HOUR AWAY. YOU MUST TAKE A BUS FROM THERE.

THE BEST AIRPORT IS DUESSLDORF (MAIN AIRPORT). ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IS COLOGNE AIRPORT. YOU WOULD THEN COME TO DUSSELDORF BY TRAIN.

Hey everyone...

I have decided to part ways with my Yamaha YV-2700 vibraphone. Not the easiest decision, but I would rather see it enter a loving home than sit in storage indefinitely. I am having to SERIOUSLY pare down belongings in trying to make a permanent move from Houston to New York City in the next 12-18 months.

The vibraphone is a strange instrument. Part doorbell, part piano, part percussion, with ornamental parts that don’t really do much and an electric motor to boot.

Still practicing my soloing. Working on lines. I love lines. I wish i could play lines like these heavy cats i admire on the site ( Tony, Dave, Ed, Behn, Rusty ... ). Working on.
Working on simplicity and clearity. Phrasing, tempo, harmo.
Soloing is often to much confuse. Keep the things clear man ! I always says that to me !
It's a work in progress.
I love doing that.
