Friends, it’s getting thick! The whirlwind is amping up and the parking lots are getting full—only a couple more weeks until liftoff.

I’m loving it! Doing my best to shop online and leave the driving to the UPS guy. I’m leaning towards riding my bike down to the big blue for the evening sunset rather than facing the Target Center’s multi-tiered drama. Hope you’re making your way through it too.

To add to the whitenoise of it all, my online store (complete with mp3 downloads and PDF sheet music) is offering a 10% discount coupon through the end of the month. This means you select a bunch of cool items (both actual CD’s, books, and downloads), place them in your cart and upon checkout enter this special code:

CMasDP97KC7R

And like magic your final price will be reduced by 10%.

Big fun surfing the capitalistic curl!

We’ve recently added Kelly Jocoy’s recording Verities to the store so check it out…

For this week I'm playing solo guitar at the Roxy. This gig has been so much fun for me. Each week I work on a couple of new tunes and then I setup this trance situation where I morph between tunes, every now and then kicking in a loop to improvise over. Mix that up with a good listening audience, the enlightment of the falafel, a refreshingly low pretentious level and the charm of downtown Encinitas, blendo perfecto amigos…

Hope to see you out there, Peter
