Took this photo from my deck in the early morning sometime last week -

This weekend

Took this picture during the flight home from Denver yesterday morning. Had a whole row to myself, it's been a while since that has happened. It was nice to stretch out a bit. It's surprising how fast a flight can seem when you're comfortable and not so crammed in with people all around you.

I enjoyed the show Friday evening and it was great to play with Souhail Kaspar. I'm looking forward to playing with him more in the future.

From Ottmar's Diary -
Now I am excited to let you know that we will come to California for three shows in September with a new quintet: OL, Jon Gagan, Stephen Duros plus Souhail Kaspar and Robby Rothschild on percussion.

Thoughts

Writing more music this week on the guitar. Really liking the new ideas and I'm looking forward to cutting some new tracks this fall. I've also been wanting to have more control over my website. Not much going on there besides my blog and it would be nice to have the option to add content at any time to keep things updated.
