Friends, here’s a recipe for my good day:
Have you heard “The Nightly” by Donald Fagen? What a classic record! Fagen is a funny and witty character and I just finished his book “Eminent Hipsters”. He’s a great writer and the last part of the book is a diary of sorts documenting a music tour he did with his band a few years back. I laughed so hard, I totally got it! He writes about the pitfalls of taking music out on the road —airlines versus guitars, trying to get a good sound in a venue that’s meant for athletics, subpar food contingency plans, and the list goes on. Hilarious!
I’m looking forward to some live gigs this week starting with a busy Friday. During the day I’m playing solo guitar at the Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar. From there I meet Leonard at Ki’s Restaurant in Cardiff for a night of music, starting at 7:30pm. Jammin’ a little Marley I think.  On Sunday I’m playing with pianist/organist Edward Gabrielyan and Duncan Moore at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley. Edward’s a younger fellow whose ripping it up and he asked us oldsters to play the gig with him. We’re playing a nice blend of tunes and I think it’ll be a good night of music. Look below for the details and hope to see you there….
That’s it folks and thanks for tuning in…all the best, Peter |
I’ve had a week off from live gigs and it’s been a wonderful change of scenery. We spent the week up in Oceanside at a beach house and took in sunsets and moonsets along with rad ocean high tides, bumping into the rocks. I’m finally over my cold and happily rested. Lets’ go!
