Because it's there...

Check out this video clip from one of my greatest musical inspirations:

China & the Global Climate

I attended a lecture by Al Gore a few nights ago. He's touring promoting his new film "An Inconvenient Truth". Global warming is a very real and great threat to our civilization as this film points out. Our way of living has really brought upon us severe consequences to say the least. We must each look for ways we can contribute to a more sustainable future. Visit - ClimateCrisis.net

In recent weeks I've been trying to set up a television performance in China. I rec'd the OK to perform on CCTV, however I was asked to stay in China for at least 2-4 months. CCTV would not handle booking concerts, but would allow me to appear on television if I've got a tour set up. They did agree to air a video though - so now I'm working on getting a video together this summer and will work on setting up a China tour thereafter.

cgtrio & new cd...

I recently checked out the California Guitar Trio in concert. One of my all time favorite guitar groups. Chatted with Burt Lams of the Trio after the gig and discussed the possibility of doing some shows together - just Bert and myself. He's got a solo cd out - Bach preludes on steel string guitar. Burt's from Belgium and I first met him while attending a guitar workshop he conducted in Cuernavaca, Mexico in 2004. Hope we'll do some shows together sooner than later.

These days i'm putting musical ideas together for a new cd. It'll probably comprise mostly of guitar duets with friends and maybe just one or two solo pieces.
