Greetings Good People, this is going to be on the short side. I've been
working on the railroad and I only have a sec to come up for air.

The word is, what a fun concert last Saturday at the Encinitas Library!
Thanks to all of you that made it out for the music. And the musicians,
man they brought it! It was an amazing ride hearing the new music morph
into the spirited space, filled with enthusiastic ears and open hearts.
This is the way ART is supposed to happen!

Here are a couple of photos and I have a bunch more that I'll share
next week. Also some video too.

Tomorrow night I'm playing a FREE solo concert at the cool space at the
Pacific Beach Library. I've done it before and it's a great place for
music. Look below for the fine print.

Next up, please note that there is NO solo guitar at the Roxy this
week. My daughter has an open house at her school and I'm going there
to check it out.

On Saturday night I'm joining Bob Magnusson and Mundell Lowe for a
night of swing at Harry's in La Jolla.

The week slides into Sunday afternoon with me playing a FREE solo show
at the El Cajon Library. Bringing the circus to East County!

And the mighty Calypso Cafe is jump starting on Monday evening for some
trio jazz with Gunnar, Duncan, and me. Check out Leucadia doing it's
cool music thing on an offnight!

That's it and thanks for reading along, Peter

Hey UCLAN, ask Mundell if I'm correct in remembering that he was with
Matt Dennis in '54, when Matt's trio played The Blue Note in Chicago?

I had known Matt back in '41/'42 and that was the first time I had
seen him since. As a 91 yo my mind isn't as sharp as it was and I
can't recall for sure if Mundell was with Matt then... I think so!

Thanks,

Larebe

Curious to know if you were able to ask Mundell the question I posed?
