Every year there comes a day in Spring when the trees in town suddenly look green. It may be that more leaves opened this morning or maybe that the leaves just unfurled a little more, but today was that day.
Brought my Negra1 and the Viscarra strat to Jon’s studio before going to breakfast with him. After breakfast I played some guitar on a 9+ minute remix of “This Spring Release 10,000 Butterfies” he decided to make. Lush and trippy… to be experienced in our ListeningLounge next month sometime.

Up early at 5:30. Enjoyed the moon. Thought that I like the moon even better before or after it is full, full being too perfect somehow.
Yesterday Jon let me know that he heard a digital noise in one song and an acoustic noise in another. The man has great ears, because I investigated and found a couple of regions that weren’t edited properly and the other song had a noise that happened after I stopped playing guitar. Fixed those and in the afternoon Jon came by to pick up the revised 24 bit files. Jon and I are both mastering the album and later this morning we will compare.

Free SSRI Sampler
This morning we added “Le Café (Arabian Dance)” from Winter Rose and the gorgeous ballad “Over Water” from Jon Gagan’s Transit 2 to the Free SSRI Sampler.

Yesterday evening I played in the Loretto chapel to raise funds for a second Santa Fe Living Treasures book. I was a bit nervous because of the home-crowd and the beautiful space, but settled in during “Silence”. After the intermission I played one more song by myself and then Jon and Stevo joined me for three pieces and the encore. Jon played upright, which sounded wonderful in the space, especially the bowing during the “Snakecharmer” intro. My thanks to Stevo and Jon for coming out to play. Here is a set of photos from last night.

Stephen Duros: Accidently glued my finders…
New Nickame: Fingers
Found this old post from 1996 regarding nicknames. Jon reminded me that Carl Coletti was called Lumpy that year, because he kept accidentaly hitting his head against stuff… when we arrived in Montreal we decided to french-ify his name: Lumpoix
PS: Stevo is fine. We rehearsed for the upcoming gig in Ecuador today and he sounded great.

I am multi-tasking this morning:
Listening to Jon being interviewed and playing some of his favorite records on KSFR 90.7FM
Watching the Gizmodo live-blog of the MacWorld Keynote
Doing the dishes.
