Hi Friends, I hope all is well in your world. I've got a current good moment rolling here with a great box set of Miles Davis and John Coltrane playing on the box—"Love For Sale", ridiculous! On the books for later today is Lisa Hightower in the studio and she's putting the absolute finishing touches on her CD. Look for it in a couple of weeks.

I'm stoked to be hooking up with Leonard and Gunnar this Friday at Ki's. And then onward to another good hang at the Inn with Lisa and Gunnar on Saturday.

I hope to see you out there.

adios, Peter
