Perhaps project wasn't the right word to use when describing the Friedmans.....they don't bite. That edge is what I am used to and what is happening is I am trying to get them to have that bite and I am bending the heck out of them. We played it tonight and settled on 130, which is just fine. I think the recording is about that tempo. Also we moved into the place where we will be playing tomorrow night and the accoustics are alot better. I think alot of the projection problems I was having was due to the Vibes sound bouncing off the walls and floor in an uninsulated small room.
Here is another question....I have been playing Stevens for years and just switched to Burton for this piece about 3 weeks ago. Obviously I have had to hit this piece pretty hard in the past few weeks and my hands are just not used to Burton. I now have .....well...I want to say bone bruises on the inside of my index finger. They are really swelled and it hurts to touch them let alone play on them. No blisters....just a bruise. Well...I have to play the next few days and I have to play alot.....I have tried Moleskin but that just makes the shaft too thick.
I know this is because I jumped into Burton all at once and hit the ground running, but is grinning and bearing it my only option?
Thanks for the advice all!

Oh and James....the vibes player is also a girl, and thanks for the help!
