Hi Everyone, I'm just back from a trip to St. Louis. It was grey, drizzling and cold and what a nice contrast touching back down into San Diego's warmth. The first thing I did off the plane was jump in the wild blue pacific for some equalization.

We had a great time with Dianne and the crew creating new songs and mapping out how the new recording will go. There's more work to do but we've got a good beginning.

For this week we've got a cool collection of gigs starting with Monday night at the Calypso with our trio. It's been a fun hang and great way to slide into the new week.

Thursday night is me solo guitaring it at the world famous Roxy Restaurant. Come along for the great food and transcendental sonic explorations.

On Friday and Saturday nights I'll be playing at Ki's with Fred Benedetti as my guest on Friday and Kevyn Lettau singing with me on Saturday. Big fun!

Last for the week, on Saturday afternoon we're doing our big FREE concert with my string group plus a vocal quartet added into the mix. It's going to be a thrill and it's a whole new angle on what goes on inside my brain. Chaos organized with street logic galvanized with a lifelong passion for sound.

We're rehearsing the ensemble again tomorrow and I'm thinking I'll take some pictures and share them with you later this week. A little visual inspiration to hopefully motivate you to point the car towards Encinitas and take it all in. Details below.

That's it and thanks for read...Peter
