Hola Good People, we’re back from our south of the border music and surf trip and here are a few photos to help tell the full story.

Peter aqua trancing right in front of the house. Long south swell lines at Zipper's...
|
|

|
|
 |
|
|
|
Here is the house where we stayed. Bob Magnusson and his wife Janet we're on the top floor, our hosts C.J. and Sheila live on the middle floor, and bro' Tripp and I took over the lower floor. It was about a 15 second walk to the ocean and that wave in the above photo. That's what I'm talking about!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| Here is looking towards the ocean from the house. Cool pool! And for me, the ultimate spot was the palapa to the left. I spent some great ZEN days hanging in the shade, playing guitar, watching the surf and when the crowd would thin to 3 people I'd dart out there and partake in the aqua glide. Heaven! |
|
|

|
| We played 3 nights of music in Cabo and we also held a music clinic for the local musos. Here is a photo after we finished and we're just getting ready to eat some tasty food. We met a wonderful group of musicians and it turns out a lot of them we're from Buenos Aires in Argentina. They come up to Cabo to do gigs and they end up making a lot more money there than back home. Add in the great vibe, the ocean, and the sun in Mexico and it's a no brainer. |
|

|
|
The Mex trip was huge fun and we can't wait to return. Do you have any Cabo stories hiding out? I'd love to hear about them...
For this week I'm playing solo guitar at the Roxy tonight. I miss that place (I've been gone for 2 weeks) and it'll be fun to reconnect. On Sunday we're playing a Mother's Day brunch gig at Anthology with Gunnar and bro' Tripp. And next week, Fred Benedetti and I are playing a special house concert in Encinitas. Tickets are still available but are selling pretty well. The easiest flow is to order them online and look below for the link to get you there.
