Mo Pikins with Clare Burson
The vibraphonette made a trip to the East Village on March 9th to be part of Clare Burson's band for a few songs. Mo Pikins is a pretty classy place. It's a bit like the fez but the staff was actually nice and I actually enjoyed playing there. Clare's line up included her on acoustic guitar and vocals, kristen on drums, john on upright bass and me on vibraphonette and trumpet. I had only rehearsed with clare a few times and I had not met the band until right before the show. I was still getting to learn the few songs i played on so I played very lightly. Hopefully, I'll get plenty of practice for the next show!
And I almost forgot to mention - as we were loading out, a young woman said to me, "nice job on that thingyphone."

this small vibraphone was made by galanti somewhere in the 50s or 60s. it is built in a suitcase and ranges two octaves (f to f). it was purchased by dennis in september of 2005 and accompanies him on some of his performances.
