Precipice - Modern Marimba

My good friend Nate Bartlett has a new CD of works for solo marimba. It just came out and I haven't had a chance to hear it yet, but I've heard him play most of the pieces live and I'm 100% sure that it's incredible.

Check it out!

I can't get the link to the Albany Records site to work from here, so use the link below to go to Nate's news page and click the link there.

Have you ever wondered what it might sound like if you put Dave Matthews, Lisa Loeb and Outkast in a blender? Wonder no more. This guy has the answer for you in his great cover of Hey Ya!

Oh, and if you said to yourself "Putting those folks in a blender sounds like a great idea", shame on you.




Classes start today at UCA and I'm ready to go. We are settled in the new house, I've practically finished the new piece I've been working on, I have all of the percussion ensemble music programmed, all four percussion ensemble concerts already scheduled, a newly remodeled office, and a great percussion studio. I even bought some new clothes! Looks to be a great year. And...don't worry Parksie, the posts will flow more regularly now. I've even got a few "make-up" posts coming with exciting pics of my summer activities. Stay tuned.

OK, so you've watched that video about the size of things I posted a few days ago? Good. Now, watch this. If you miss something...rewind. When you're done your brain may feel a little sore, but Star Trek will make a lot more sense.
