Dear Friends, looping back after an intense holiday season. We had a bunch of parties and went to a bunch of parties and it just kept on spinning, the whole celebrating this and honoring that. Loved it! The world stopped, sort of…

The Christmas Eve show was legendary and I’ve gathered a bunch of photos and put them up on The Sky on my website. Click on the image to the right and you’ll be taken to a cool, slow loading page with the whole story. Maybe you’ll find yourself in there…

While I was in the flow with creating the photo page for the Christmas show I went ahead and visually documented last summer’s Primal Twang experience. For this tour for your eyes click on the photo of me ridding the sound waves to the right and check out the photos of the Twang. Some cool backstage prank moments included…

Other semi strange news is that I went forward and created a MySpace page. I’m not totally sure why this is so important but my cool daughter said it’s paramount and she’s being a great help in putting it together and hipping me to the brave new digital etiquette of MySpace. Venture here for a tour and oh yes, do you want to be my “friend”? Again, not sure why this is important but they tell me it is…

For this week Lisa, Gunnar and myself will play some tunes at the forever cozy Inn L’Auberge in Del Mar. I hope to see there.

One last thing, see if you can hunt down the tune by Brazilian songwriter Edu Lobo called “Ponteio”. I have two versions of it, both great. One is on “Sergio Mendes presents Edu Lobo” and the other is on Austrid Gilberto’s CTI release called Gilberto with Turrentine. So good!

Adios, Peter
