Hi Friends, imagine our supreme fortune occupying Mira Costa College's newly completed concert hall for the day! It turns out that Matt, one of the vocalists in our group is a professor at Mira Costa and he was able to spin a little magic. The place is fantastic and the reason we rehearsed there instead of SpragueLand is because we needed the space. The ensemble is 11 people strong and having that big beautiful wooden stage to spread out on was pure luxury!

The music we're playing are all compositions of mine including "Dr. Einstein's Spin," "The Calling Me Home Suite," "Mudra," and "I Can't Make Much Sense Out of You." We're pulling it together for this Saturday's FREE concert at the Encinitas Library. Just make sure you remember that it isn't at Mira Costa but at the ENCINITAS LIBRARY. We'd love you to be there!

Back years ago I played at the Calypso in Leucadia and it was huge fun. Then they had a restriction that no amps could be used. They redone the place and we can plug in. Hurray! We're gearing up the trio to play every other Monday for hopefully a long stint. |
