Friends, yes indeed, the gig this week is at the airport baggage claim. Weird but true, there are actually various reasons why this might be a fun show to make. It turns out that in addition to hearing some solo guitar explorations the airport has some other redeeming elements. They’ve got parking folks and lots of it! If you aren’t scrambling to make a flight it’s a fairly relaxing place. But my favorite is the whole situation of the reuniting of families—it’s been a long week away and the family member is returning for the weekend and the rest of the family is there to stir up a homecoming welcome. It’s a nice movie moment and my music is the soundtrack. Come out and we’ll talk props versus turbine engines or better yet, 101 things you can do on a layover…

 friendly skies, Peter
