Uphill Both Ways - Vibraphone Solo

Between work and the holidays, I've had a hard time finding time to prepare more music. My original plan was to try to release something every month, but I've not been able to keep to that schedule. Hopefully, there won't be such a long time between this one and the next release.

This is a more recent composition that I've been playing around with it for a couple of years. I had a difficult time writing it down because I don't always play it the same way twice. The tune is kind of catchy. My teenage daughter likes it. If you listen to the recording, you will notice that I am closing the tune with a blues chorus that is not on the sheet music. This is how I've been playing it lately, but feel free to put your own twist on it.

If you get a chance to play the piece yourself, please add a comment or send me an email. I'd love to hear about it.

If you download the PDF of one of my pieces, you will notice a disclaimer at the beginning and end of the music: "This work released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License".  What this means is that when performing a composition by me that is released with this license, I must be given proper attribution and the piece cannot be performed if a profit will be made from the performance.  So what is proper attribution?  I should be listed as the composer and the URL for More Than 3 Chords (morethan3chords.blogspot.com) should also be listed.  A couple of examples:

Example 1 -

As long as these 2 pieces of information are included and associated with each other, I am happy.  There are more details at Creative Commons.  I am not that interested in making money off my music, but I am also not interested in someone else making money from my creative work.  Basically, give me proper attribution and you are free to use, change and distribute my music for noncommercial purposes.  If you do use my music, I would love to hear about it and hear your performance.
