Friends, I trust that the July sunrays are hitting you in a good way. I have a stellar flow lined up for this week. Today it's about finishing up this gig email and then off for a morning surf in the big blue, followed by 3 days of uninterrupted sound waves from my acoustic guitar feeding into the almighty powerful computer for solo guitar documentation. This is the good life of the creative California summer—low responsibility factor ON, unending details OFF, daydreaming ENCOURAGED. I'm lucky to have it this way and I hope you are too...

For this weeks gigs I'm looking forward to connecting with Leonard and Tommy Aros at the enchanted Ki's on Friday evening. Tommy is back from some fully extended Luis Miguel world touring and we're happy to be grooving with him again. Lisa, Gunnar and myself will do the Inn L on Saturday eve and the hurricane known as the Coyote will throw down on Sunday. My brother Tripp is in deep Mexico so Leonard will embark on this one with us. "Hey Leonard, you got your storm gear in tow? You might need it for the Coyote!"

Hope to see you out there.

adios, Peter
