Thanks Kat! happy Sad was / still is a favorite album.
I really liked the vibraphone on it:
(Wikipedia): “David Friedman (born March 10, 1944, New York, United States) is an American jazz percussionist. His primary instruments are vibraphone and marimba.
Friedman studied drums in the 1950s, then marimba and xylophone in the 1960s at Juilliard. In the 1960s he was a member of the New York Philharmonic and the pit orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera, and worked as a jazz musician with Wayne Shorter, Joe Chambers, Hubert Laws, Horace Silver, and Horacee Arnold in the 1970s.”
If you want to hear the “Venice Mating Call” live version, recorded in the fall of ’69 at the LA Troubador, with Lee Underwood’s guitar in place of the vibe voice, try

It touches my heart to hear Tim Buckley again. Both he and Jeff have been long time favorites.
The vibraphone reminds me of a xylophone in its appearance but not its sound. It sounds sweeter.
In Ghana they play what they call a xylophone but it looks more like a marimba and has a singular sound I always associate with Ghana. Often it is accompanied by drums.
