Friends, here is a quick one letting you know we’ll be heating it up at the Coyote this Sunday. John Opferkuch is in the loop and also a new friend and muso Toby Ahrens will play drums. I hope to see you out there…

Thanks to all that made the Quail Gardens show last week. The various elements came into sync — we had stellar weather, a good sound system, spirited musos, a crack team of CD sellers (Stefanie, Kylie, Sam, and Kate), and some of the best audio absorption humans on planet earth. They took in the music, allowed it to spin inside and then responded in all of the peak moments. Happiness!

That's the story for now.
adios, Peter
