Ever notice how the xylophone gets no love??

[Pazzy]

Once in the blue, you'll see folks rocking with a triangle, a cowbell, a symbol, even those big ass back breaking tubas. Even the harmonica gets love (stevie helped popularized that shyt)


But no love for the xylophone though. How often ya see someone or anybody playing that shyt?

If played right, that shyt sounds right too. It's on this classic



And yall know how those slow mellow laid back jazz jams be sounding even better with that shyt. I know DC and the go go music scene rocks with that shyt too sometimes.


But no love for the xylophone though.

A kid I went to high school played it. He was about as big a lame as I ever met

Always loved the xylophone. Wanted to learn it as a kid but settled for the piano instead.

NO love?

 

[The_Sheff]

Pretty much every white marching band wheels out a xylophone during halftime shows
