Dúo Flamenco in Pistol River, OR
Dúo Flamenco performed in concert for the Pistol River Concert Association on January 10. What an amazing audience we had - thanks to all who came out and so enthusiastically appreciated our music. Also, special thanks to Les and Mary Stansell - our hosts for the weekend. Les is Grant's luthier and he makes one beautiful guitar! Here we are backstage before the concert.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone - I hope yours is off to as great a start as mine. I started the new year fly-fishing the Rogue River on New Year's Day. What a perfect way to start the year. Well, not quite perfect as I didn't catch any steelhead, but I still had a fun day!
On Jan. 2 I headed up to Mount Ashland for a great day of snowboarding with my family. Here we all are getting ready to head down the mountain.
Over the holiday break our Music Recital Hall at Southern Oregon University has been getting a major facelift. This is the final step to a major renovation project I have been working on with an anonymous donor for the last year or so. We put in a new stage floor last summer, and over this holiday break we installed all new seating and carpet. Our old seats were 30+ years old and terribly squeaky. The new chairs, floor, and carpet are beautiful!
Here's a pic of the new seats. This is taken before the carpet went in.
Our first concert is this Saturday, January 10th - Quartetto Gelato presenting by Chamber Music Concerts at SOU. I'm so sorry I'll miss this wonderful performance but...
Saturday and Sunday I'll be performing with Dúo Flamenco (Grant Ruiz and myself) at the Pistol River Concert Association series in Pistol River, OR. We'll perform on Saturday night and give a workshop on Sunday. I hope to get in some steelhead fishing on while there on Pistol River! Here's link to the concert association.
