I am really impressed with Black Swamp’s new website and forum. Here you can sign in and discuss whatever topic you would like! Ask questions about equipment, performance practice, or technology. Or maybe just share a good story or musical experience!

Doug Demorrow makes beautiful percussion instruments. I own a 5-octave practice marimba, and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Musicians need to RECORD themselves, and LISTEN! ZOOM!!!

Check out this great music recorder!

It is perfect for personal use, as well as use for larger groups. It provides the performer with INSTANT playback, and files can also be transfered to a computer where one can listen, edit, burn, share…… All musicians, teachers, AND performers could greatly benefit from this wonderful tool!
