Tommy recently admitted that he doesn't read music. That means he is one heckofa ear player!

Would be fabulous, Peter, if you could rendezvous with Mario D and Matt Findley. They speak New Yorka and might translate from Left Coast Canuck to Right Coast New Yorka for you. I'd give a lot to meet either of those wonderful gentlemen, to say nothing of you, Dr Gannon.

Is Charlie traveling with you? What a fantastic learning opportunity that will be.

Peter, I remember that you were quite impressed with guitar duo Loren and Mark. They are playing in the New York area that same weekend. You might want to check their schedule while you're in the area. They often open for Tommy. Fabulous guitarists!

Peter, here's the link to Loren @ Mark's warmup for Tommy while he was in New York:
