I was in California  trying to work on my tan..

saw my sister and listened to a fantastic concert with John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and Christian McBride…

I couldn’t believe how relaxed and graceful he was after a 3 hour orgy of  unbelievable music…..the depth of feeling, the passion, the finger work…that’s a man who practices everyday…

I also bumped into an old friend at a coffee shop who remembered when I was a spring chicken of 13 years old in Bloomington, Indiana!!

The super cute and talented trumpet player, Chris Botti..All his fans lined up to meet him at Border’s and he still took time out to meet and greet me! Yippee!

I also had my own CD signing concert at J&R Music World in New York City, which was way fun!

I also played and taught masterclasses in Austin at the University of Texas

and at Queens College in New York…..that was a bit difficult as it was a toasty 90 degree day in NY and the AC wasn’t turned on yet in the hall!

I think I lost 20 pounds there….So there’s my picture story for now.

I am on the way to San Luis Obispo next week, Japan, the week after that and Scotland after that!

I will write about the horrors of packing a bag for trips like that in a future post!

Sayonara!
