Did I mention how much I hate re-wiring and cable management?? My dad use to play the vibes professionally and we had the same in our house. He use to study with Gary Burton a very long time ago.

Hollywood Ninja Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Playing chords with 3-4 sticks in each hand was very impressive.Very cool! I studied very briefly with Gary when I was at the U of Michigan. I was studying mostly classical marimba. Until I graduated and realized there were no gigs for classical marimba! Now I bang on random stuff for video game composers and singer/song writers.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's no gigs for anyone these days... We also had a set of Marimba's in the house. I think they went one my first cousins. He sold the vibes about 10 years ago. I think the motor needed to be replaced. Such a cool instrument and impressive to watch being played. I took piano lessons for 13 years and can't play a tune ?

Popular Post maverickdrinker Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Had fun cooking for the family tonight to celebrate my son and daughters birthday. Wanted to do this before she went back to University. Did 2 types of pulled pork: Louisiana style and Chinese char Sui style. A little East meets west action. Did a Brazilian roasted rotisserie pineapple for dessert but forgot to take pics. My brother kept me company while I cooked and we killed off a bottle of Signatory Glenlivet 2007 vintage....grateful to be surrounded by family to celebrate their birthdays.

Popular Post Connoisseur Kim Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Tea leaves gift from @Zaxeiler finally arrived to my house. It took 28 days to get the package (can't be tracked in local post office and customs, since it's an international letter), but tea leaves were in excellent condition without any damage. I tasted Keemun at dinner and it was the best tea I've ever had! It began with La Gloria Cubana friuty and herbal notes; signature H. Upmann woody and leather notes at first. Then, it showed slight hint of smokey and Cohiba grassy flavors. After that, it turned into Ramón Allones tangy stewed fruit aroma bomb in the end. Overall, I really enjoyed this tea leaf and can see why it's one of the best tea leaves among tea connoisseurs. I believe it'll pair well with woodsy and fruity marcas such as H. Upmann and La Gloria Cubana for sure. Thank you for sending these tasty leaves! Can't wait to review others ??! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Connoisseur Kim Posted October 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just chat with Rob while drinking Lapsang souchong from @Zaxeiler. It began with Partagás and H. Upmann Magnum 46 bold cedary; peppery; spiciness; meaty; leather, woody notes at first. Then, it showed Montecristo earth and toasty nut flavors with Cuban twang and smokey aroma, which reminded me smoked cheese and salmon. After that, it had slight hint of LGC fruity and floral tastes in the end. Overall, I really enjoyed this tea leaf as well and can see why it's Winston Churchill's favorite tea. I believe it will pair well with spicy and peppery Cuban cigars such as Partagás Shorts and H. Upmann Magnum 46. I also think it can be fit with any smoked cuisines like Gouda cheese. Note. I was really surprised that Lapsang souchong is the origin of the Chinese black tea ? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was recommended to me by a fellow BOTL in London and its a lovely combination with a cigar, the smokey notes are great.

These leaves became my go to tea for sure! I didn't know that Lapsang souchong is the root for all Chinese tea until I typed it on Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
