Hi Friends, streamlining early this morning. It’s early and the day is full with practicing, adjusting the faders in the studio and then zipping off to a Roxy hit this eve. Oh yeah, and the surf has been up and it’s hard to turn that opportunity down. It’s all just how I’d like it but it’s a lot of it. Stoke!

Looking back a few weeks, this was the scene at the Del Mar Christmas Eve concert. A perfect day with a wonderful gang of musos stirring it up for a consortium of good spirited folks.

This is how it went down at Ki's on New Year's Eve. We we're jamming the samba and Kevyn morphed into the drum set and took a solo. Super cool!

Tonight it’s the Roxy gig for a new year with a new set of strings. I’ll be playing with Bob Magnusson and brother Tripp on Saturday night at Harry’s. And early next week I’ll be skippin’ out of my ongoing Inn L’Auberge Tuesday gig to play a hit with pianist Geoffrey Keezer at the Saville Theatre at San Diego City College. We’ve got a new CD coming out and if all of the stars align in tandem we’ll have them in hand for the gig. Look below for the whole month’s layout with the fine print included. Hope to see you in person!

all the very best, Peter
