Lots of neat stuff on the near horizon.

- Saturday I hope to sit in with Dave Workman‘s group at the Saloon in San Francisco.
- Tuesday Chris Cobb is standing in as jam host for Stan Erhart at the 23 Club blues jam in Brisbane.
- Next Saturday is my birthday.
- Friday, March 20, at the Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley, I’m seeing the Five Peace Band – John McLaughlin: guitar; Chick Corea: keyboards; Kenny Garrett: saxophone; Christian McBride: bass; and Vinnie Colaiuta: drums
- Thursday, April 23, at the Fox Theater in Oakland, I’m seeing Jeff Beck, with David Sancious on keys, Tal Wilkenfeld on bass, and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums (Vinnie again!)
- The DVDs of Jeff Beck’s 2007 performances at Ronnie Scott’s in London, and of Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood’s 2008 performances at Madison Square Garden in New York, are coming out soon…
