The Green Road - perfomed by Mark Ford and Ed Smith

This duo version of The Green Road by Mark Ford and Ed Smith was performed on Ford's UNT faculty recital on Sept. 28, 2011. The Green Road was a beautiful dirt road leading deep into the woods near my grandfather's house on Kain Road in Short Pump, Virginia (near Richmond). It was a place full of long walks, adventures, fun and imagination during my childhood. - MF
The original marimba solo by Mark Ford and this duo version are both published by Musicon Publications (www.musiconpublications.com). Mark Ford and Ed Smith teach percussion at the University of North Texas College of Music.

My marimba-tutor always kept emphasizing I needed to stretch my index-finger a bit over the shaft of the mallet. Now I see Mark Ford doesn't do it either.

Where can I purchase the music sheet? Thank you!

[@markfordmusic]

Thank you for your message! You can buy The Green Road Duo from most percussion music dealers including Steve Weiss Music, Lone Star Percussion etc. Let me know if you have any issues. Enjoy the music!

There had better be no dislikes on this one. Absolutely amazing performance. The sound of the Love Vibe with Marimba is most beautiful. -DelCook P.S (@Ed Smith )- Cant wait for MarimbaMadness '12

[@markfordmusic]

The published version of the Duo is brand new and probably not listed on web pages yet. Call Lone Star Percussion or Steve Weiss Music to order it. They have the music now (published by Innovative Percussion). Best wishes!
