I was just having a conversation about this topic today and thought it would be of interest to some of you starting to try and make money playing music.

I love David Friedman! If Marie is our 'mom' of the site, then David is our 'dad'. He's so supportive. I wish him the best birthday ever!

Wow! Check out what they did. They used the recording, but it's impossible to sync everything up. You can see it in Gary's comping. Man Astrud is beautiful and the sound is amazing!

Hi everyone,

This post is further to my shoutout earlier on...

I've just ordered a pair of SE1as on trial from SE-Electronics.
You can see them here: http://www.seelectronics.com/se1a-pair-mic
They're pencil condensors - perhaps not the perfect mic, but a massive step up from the dynamics I've been using up until now.

I think they come with a stereo bar, so that you can put both mics on one stand, and separate them slightly.

Does anyone set their mics up like this when playing live? Does it work as well as placing them apart?

I thought was really beautiful music!

Man I have a funny feeling that there's a lot more stuff happening on the vibes these days. Or maybe it's just more people posting on youtube, but I'm seeing some cool stuff online!

Yo guys. Just a heads up while we get some things together here!

Here is the registration for Delaware: https://crayola.hcs.udel.edu/conf/registration/music/registration.html

We are about to send about 1000 flyers out to schools around the country and we only have 20 spots and we've been filling them up the last few years. So I wanted to give VW members a head start.

The Delaware workshop looks like it's going to have myself, Friedman, Samuels and I'm working on Behn Gillece and Mike Pinto. In addition there are some heavy MalletKat players coming (names are coming) .

Oh man... good vibes 'concentration'!
(upon Warren's kind 'permission to steal and share with you guys'!) ;-)

writing some music for marimba & vibes (in a small ensemble) - have eyes on a M48 (for all the good travel-light 'n quick reasons the wonderful GB cited - and also like the more mellow sounding Musser gold bars for that) -- now looking for rosewood marimba (at least 3 octaves, hopefully more) to buy for gigging, to be paired with the M48 player - any suggestions? & unfortunately can't say "price is no object" - merci, James
