Friends, we're heading to the Land O' La for some trio blowin' insanity. I'm not sure you can brave the road but it'll be some fun nonetheless. Back here in town I'm connecting with SF vocalist Sherri Roberts. It should be good and click on her image for more background on her and her music.

 
Also scheduled for this week is the Museum of Making Music fundraiser where Sammy Nestico and myself will be honored. This is new for me and I'm stoked to be honored. I'll play a little guitar too.

The week winds into Sundays gathering of musos and Carlsbadian bohemians to play the always inspired Coyote Bar and Grill. Brother Johnny "O" is in the loop with us and expect some creative piano phrases coming your way.

adios, Peter
