Hello Good People, I'm over here defrosting from some freeway mayhem. Today Bob Magnusson and I drove up to Santa Ana to meet up with the other stringsters for some fine-tuning before our show coming up at the LA County Museum later this week. The band is cool and we’re excited to get tangled once again inside some challenging charts. We hope to see you if you can make it and please spread the word if you know someone in LA that might dig what we’re up to.

I’m heading to the Roxy tomorrow eve for another chance to let a little samadhi creep into the hurricane which is my life. I’ll see you there for some solo guitar explorations.
Maestro Benedetti and I are teaming up in La Jolla for the La Jolla Festival of the Arts on Saturday. I think Fred has done this gig before but it’s a first for me. Looking forward...
The big deal for next week is we’re assembling the devotees of Metheny for another chance to live his world for a night. He’s one of my all time favorite musos and composers and it’s a magic moment bringing our own angle to his classic tunes. We’re playing “Straight On Red”, “Are You Going With Me”, “Have You Heard” and a zillion more. In fact, I wish this could be a 24 hour gig so we could get them all in there. How about “24 Hours of Metheny, 240 Songs Strong”? Someday this will happen. The concert is being held at the Tango del Rey in Pacific Beach and check out the look of this place inside. Wild! I hear the sound is good too and they’re letting us cut loose. Look below for details and I sure hope to see you there...
