During the first 24 hours, songs from Under the Rose were downloaded more than 9,000 times and as I am posting this, early Thursday Morning, the number has risen to 17,000. That’s a nice start. Roshi Joan will include a link and description of the album in the next Upaya newsletter.

The last rehearsal went well, and we came up with a set list. Morning Arrival in Goa is back in the set, Sao Paulo gains a new end-section with killer drumming, the new, and still unnamed tune will be performed, and we might do Serenity on Ultracloud… lots of new sections and changed grooves – killer groove for Heart Still/Beating:

Mercury is in retrograde. Backup yer computers. Get Canton’s retrograde widget here. This widget for Mac OS X helps you from being surprised when the planet Mercury “goes retrograde.”

File under oddity or sign of the times: I just bought the three CD set of A State of Wonder by Glenn Gould. Indeed wonderful recordings of Bach from 1955 and 1981, for $15.98. The mp3 album is $24.99. Nine dollars difference, and the mp3s cost MORE…

The Morning light is coming up and I have to get going. Must pack…

    If you were to say we WILL be playing Serenity on Ultracloud, I’d be making flight arrangements.

    Nice version of Heart Still/Beating. The trio = a modern mellow version of Cream. ;-)

    LOVED the concert at Montalvo last night!!!…Thank You ALL!
    Here is my response to a request by Ticket Master for a review:
    “””What do I think of Ottmar’s Concert at Montalvo?
    Joyous exquisite genius magnificently executed by the entire Trio! Ottmar was astounding of course with his divine compositions and his art in playing both the acoustic and electric Guitars. He is a Master of weaving and expanding different elements into beautiful dreams! It was a splendid evening in a gorgeous setting, shared with wonderful folks and even a huge congregation of crickets, who insisted upon joining the Trio in wonderful harmony throughout. Can one do better? Magic!”””
