Thank you Dave. I believe it was Erroll Garner that wrote Misty, but no matter, I agree with you about the strength, durability, and MUSICALITY of the 'old standards'. As us old codgers like to say, "they just don't make 'um like that anymore" . And yes, Lionel Hampton will always be remembered for introducing the vibraphone to modern music (jazz). Now if we could just get Russ to get off his lazy butt and post some REAL vibes (like those beautiful guitar/vocal tunes he posted a bit ago - I still play them at least once a week 'cause it's got one of my favorite tunes on it - 'What are you doing the rest of your life'). Oh well, we'll just have to keep prodding him .
