Hi Folks, summer is here and I’m loving it! How about these last two days? I’ve got a few more calls to make and few more “e’s” to deal with but then I’m blasting for a big blue sesh. Hope I see you out there…

Last weekend’s hit at Dizzy’s was all world fun. Many thanks to the whole gang that made it out and dug the music as much as we dug making it. Brasil ’66 has a special place for a lot of us Boomers and it was cool pulling out those classics and tapping into the bossa nova of the past. I’m thinking we’ll do it again downwind.

Here are some photos from the event and thanks so much to the supreme lens man Mark Keller for pulling the magic into the digital realm. Gunnar’s wife Bonnie took the last photo and this is one of Oscar Castro Neves sitting in on guitar. He played and sang beautifully and then told cool stories of his years playing with Sergio. It was a special eve and it's kind of fun to relive it through the photos...

For this week we’re meeting up at the Inn L’Auberge in Del Mar for some good music with Lisa and Gunnar. I hope to see you there…

that’s it for now, Peter
