this brings back los of memories when i was around 5 (45 now) mercado el ahorro downtown mexicali or may be parque del mariachi, xylophone & tambora were there!!!!
@jds622 It's from a 1940s collection of mallet solos for a 2 1/2 octave mallet instrument by Haskell Harr (Harr is more well known for his drum method book)
There is a widespread prejudice against the xylophone, even among music lovers and players themselves. This seems to spring from the belief that the xylophone is an instrument that cannot sing, that it is good only for a semi-comic role in a vaudeville act. Some question whether it is a musical instrument. These ideas do this instrument an injustice - one that will be only vindicated when people realize the potentialities of the xylophone. - Yoichi Hiraoka

Bravo - this is really inspiring - where did you find this chart? where are you located? Not too many xylophonists out there!
