I do like vibes. In my younger days I knew a buncha jazz musicians ( seriously, I did) including a very good `bone player (trombone, but they just called it `playin bone' , seriously ), Rex Rathgeber who split to Germany from Canada, to avoid paying back 50,000 dollars in student loans.... often wondered whatever happened to Rex. But playing the vibes is sorta like a combination of playing guitar (which I do, very well may I note) and playing the piano, because the layout of a vibraphone follows the physical key structure of the piano. Now vibes have not been, to my knowledge, distinguished according to geographical location, so I am not sure what these `mediterranean vibes' really are but I am keen to discover. Now we gots 3 things to consider here. We gots marimbas, we gots xylophones, and we gots vibraphones. I will leave to your personal voyage of discovery to the learn the difference, but I remain confuzzled as to the meaning of `mediteranean vibes' . Are these `vibes' musical instruments local to Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt? Please fill me in Beijinger, you are the newspaper of record, sorta like the Grey Lady of Beijing.
Now xylophones were once considered code names for martinis during prohibition and inhibition arousing operative procedures in Thailand had been undergone. Now martinis are generally made using vermouth, which means `green mouth' so I leave that to you imagination.
