Gracias Amigos for a GREAT TIME in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

My trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was a great success. I played 3 nights at Cuates y Cuetes, a nice cafe on the beach. One night with a couple from Brazil, doing primarily brazilian/latin music. One night with my friends, Steve and Lisa York, “The Celebrators”, (formerly of the Twin Cities, now residents of PV) doing a mixture of American rock, jazz and blues and a touch of bossa nova. And on my final night in PV there was a going away party and jam session for me with many of the best players in Puerto Vallarta, playing some serious jazz…I feel honored that so many of the friends I have made there came out to listen, play and celebrate life and music!

I also played 4 nights at a very nice restaurant, called The River Cafe, with my good friends Willow and Beverly Brizio. Classic Jazz standards was the order of the day there.

The overwhelming response I got wherever I played was good for my soul.

I want to say a special “Thank You” to Willow, who besides being a fabulous guitarist is also an incredibly generous spirit who provided inspiring back up without any ego. A true musician and great human being. Thanks my friend and musical brother!

If you are ever in Puerto Vallarta, stop by The River Cafe to hear a world class guitar/vocal duo and have a romantic dinner with some delicious food. Or if you like it a bit more casual (and less expensive) give Cuates y Cuetes a try. They both support great music and deserve YOUR support as well.

PEACE
