SWEET!! I love vibes and marimba... Was a snare drummer in high school too..
I got a cool story..
When i was in high school we sponsored a jazz concert every spring.. i was a on the stage crew so i got to hang out while Lionel Hamptons gears was getting set up.
Lionel was a great and flashy drummer as well as being a god on the vibes.. The crew setup this gorgeous clear plastic drums set with lights on the inside that Lionel would play.. After they set it up I asked if i could play it and the guys said sure.. He could test the lights while I played.. I'd been playing drums for a year by then so all I could ust out was a basic swing shuffle... As i was plying I heard someone playing the vibes... Sure enough Lionel Hampton himself was warming up to my beat... Playing scales along with with me.. It didn't take me long to f up... But I was psyched - so was he.. Told me to stick with it.. he was an awesome guy.. just the best.. From the few hours I knew him at least.. He came back the next year and remembered all of us...
Today I play constantly... Never practice... Only gigs...
Lets jam!

County, not country. Little bit of a difference.
Hamp's my hero on vibes. So smooth, enough so that you can pick his style out, no matter the recording. Unfortunately, in college I got out of it a bit, and living in an apartment complex I try to be sensitive of the neighbors and can't quite fit my marimba in the apartment. That and everyone else that I know that plays something, plays in another band. Would love to get back into at least playing set, just for the fun of it.

I used to be a thespian. Yup, I was one of those drama club kids in high school.
My first car was a 1984 Chevy Chevette. It met an early demise while playing an impromtu left-right game (get to an intersection, pick a direction) about 5 months after I got it. Got stranded in Westfield, MA because my mom wouldn't let me talk to my dad to get a ride home (it was like 12:30AM or something on a week night). Had to rely on my boyfriend's dad to bring me home.
In my lifetime, I've aspired to be an international lawyer, a pediatrician, a marine biologist, an art teacher, an English teacher, an auto mechanic, a concierge, some sort of marketing person, a recreational leader, a park ranger, a dance teacher, a novelist, an editor, a bartender, an alpaca farmer, an Assessor, .... I think what it basically comes down to is I have no idea what I want to do for a living. :lol:

Yeah, you guys wish.
Though the girl upstairs from me is in the middle of a divorce and decided she was one of those. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Yes, there is. They reduce my chances by either not being available in the first place, or not taking another guy off the market and thereby reducing my odds. Not that I've had a negative personal experience along those lines, and if I had, it's not like I'd still be bitter about it...:angry:

Nah, she stopped being friends with me in February because there was no room in the garage for her stroller.Hey! You two should . . . ah, never mind . . .
Though my sister insisted that before that she "liked" me, LOL. No wonder why she gave me a Valentine's Day card, eh? *I've only once drank so much that I was hungover and puked the next day. Ironically, it was my father who was doling out the drinks. He likes to get people really wasted.

:lol: He's actually made quite the turn around. Went to law school, became a patent lawyer (he was some kind of engineer before), recently moved down state and is now engaged to (I think) another lawyer. I don't recall exactly how long ago they got divorced... has to be sometime within the last 6 years though.
