The Green Road was originally a marimba solo dedicated to Akiko Goto (also published by Innovative Percussion). The title refers to an old country road behind my grandfather’s house near Richmond,  Virginia. In 2011 I asked my good friend Ed Smith to perform The Green Road as a marimba/vibraphone duo and we recorded this version for my CD, Stealing a Moment. Ed composed a beautiful vibe accompaniment to my music and I rearranged the marimba part.  We both hope you enjoy this new version of The Green Road.  – Mark Ford
