Hi Folks, it’s all working over here and the music continues on. Yesterday I had a really different experience going full on modal with 2 fantastic Indian musicians—on tablas was Arup Chattopadya and on veena was Suman Laha. Together we played a concert at the Pacific Ridge school in Carlsbad and what a joy flying along with them in D Phrygian for a 20 minute morning raga. These guys are into some deep audio! Wow!

Just in, a great review of our Wild Blue recording in this months Vintage Guitar magazine. Click here if you want to read the positive words.

For this week I’m making my way to the Roxy on Thursday night for some solo guitar religion. I’ve been transforming my recent arrangement of “Oh, Susanna” that I did for the string group over to solo guitar and it’s working out—pretty tricky but not impossible. I’ll spin it out on Thursday. Or maybe I'll spin out on it instead. Hah...

Also this week Australian vocalist Kate Fuller and I will play a special house concert in Cardiff on Saturday night. We rehearsed yesterday and it’s sounding good. What a beautiful voice she has. You’re all invited and see below for the details on getting tickets and how to get there. It’ll be a hoot!
 

Vocalist Kate Fuller meets up with Peter Sprague for a special house concert next week.
That’s it for now and thanks for reading, Peter
